So weird in the best ways. Smelled like sweaty laundry...kind of vinegary even. Tasted of mellow red fruit, not really like any pinot I've had. Extremely enjoyable on its own in a small crowded bar room with a lot of talking happening...and surprisingly i am happy to just have a glass. I may have not liked this if I had drank a bunch of it.

A traditional Pinot Noir this is not. Bare whispers of fruit and a corresponding light body, one could confuse this with a robust rose. Pleasant, however, particularly without food on a warm day.

Has more heft than first meets the tongue. Delicate astringency and mild red berries.
