Nice herbal component from some whole cluster? Surprised it's 14.5%, shows fairly light.

Nice fruit mineral balance. RRV is always right for Pinot

The nose starts with some barnyard funk but a beam of red fruit pokes through as well. On the palate, very elegant, silky texture. The fruit starts off shy but grows in intensity along with a mineral component that expands on the finish. Really good stuff.

This is a very elegant, delicate style of pinot. Transparent red color in the glass. Nose provides subtle red fruit with slight wood accents. On the approach, the fruit eases on and off the palate at the same pace. Very well-balanced. Just an enjoyable pinot.

Ripe and fleshy but maintains a lightness with some herbaceous character.

Campfire and peat moss nose. Plus acidity and complex blend of cool blue fruit and ripe cherry with some roastedness.

Liked it way more when I tasted it at the winery than when I brought it home.
