I never heard of this wine before. Nose Reminds me of lavender candy, bright cherry, a little tea leaf... Palate the same, a little sharp at first, then wash of acidity, then fine tannins ... Nice 😊

Tasty. Sweet raspberry, forest floor. Still a little tightly wound. Even better on day 2. Enjoyable

Well more fruity and a wine that is a great finisher as you contemplate your navel.

Loved this Pinot. It was one of the more "affordable" ones on the wine list at the French Laundry. Will definitely seek it out again!
