It's a beautiful wine. Deep and intense. The tannins are strong so it needs a long decantation (2 hours). The nose is very fruity: a blackcurrant, a plum with some sweet liqueur. Then the palate with a chocolate and a leather. The composition is perfect. More fruit, more earthy notes and it would be perfect. — 4 years ago
Quite intriguing, not a style of winemaking I reach for often, but an example of it done well. Minimal extraction and no SO2 with the allure and charm this has can be quite difficult. It’s a little skanky upon first opening, but after a night in the bottle it cleaned up considerably, the brett and VA melted into the wine a little more and its muddled melange of red fruit and earth became apparent. Crushed rainer cherry, decaying strawberries, rhubarb compote, white pepper, sweaty brett. I like blurring the lines between light red and rosé, and the wine worked well with roast chicken w/ spices and poblano mashers night one and fared well with tomato/avocado salad and grilled sardines the next night. That versatility at the table was impressive. — 4 years ago
Liquid Gold!!!! A Pinot Gris that has gone through Noble rot. Gold with an Amber tint. Aromas of peach, apricot, and honey. Very tasty with a great sweet note. Great with our Charcuterie board!!! — 2 years ago
Their was an earthiness where I was expecting meat and pepper. Still extremely good and with great depth. — 4 years ago
Hints of leather and spice with minimal fruit / berries; smooth and light bodied. — 8 months ago
Most expensive worn in the menu but not as good as the previous one! — 4 years ago

Popped and poured. This is a darker noted and yet, unmistakably Pinot Noir. The fruit is ripe and glossy and yet it retains its acid and freshness. While I’m not crazy about the style, the site is showing its quality and I love that. Certain to be a crowd pleaser. This could probably benefit from some time on its side. Good now, better after 2025 and through 2031. — 7 months ago
