Pop and pour. Fantastic showing with savory, round red fruit, well-integrated and balanced palate with firm, fine tannins, saucy acid, and wet earth.

Decanted one hour. Saucy acid dominates the plate, with nutty "thistle" notes and dried red berries. Quite a change from the previous bottle but enjoyable now and for a few more years if you don't require a fruit-forward Pinot.

First... color is holding up. On the nose I get fig and ironically thistle. On the palate balanced and dry. Tannins linger on the outer tongue. As it sits in the glass more of the vineyard soils and funk come through. Lovely.

Gave this 30 minutes in the decanter. A hearty Pinot Noir with some woodsy, brambly qualities on the nose. Drinking well now.

Really expressive wine: fruit is pushed to the red side of purple with nice acidity that keeps the flavors crisp and clean. I don’t know this vineyard, but I get a real sense of a cool climate with garrique, briar and a touch of unctuous herbs. Really delightful wine with a great QPR. Drinking well here. If PnP, give about 30 minutes to fully open.

Drank over two days. This has really come together and I'm glad I waited. Buoyant acid integrates well with savory red berries, Autumn leaves and some walnut on the finish. Or maybe that's thistle!

Popped and poured. Dark ruby color. Palate has tart cherry and a bit a strawberry. Nice aicidty to hold it all together. This should improve over the next 3-4 years.

Pretty simple on day 1, though with right red fruits. However, by day 3 this was really singing pretty good. Only complain is it could use just a bit more spice or nuance on the palate. This coulee really evolve to be something quite good in a few years. Only 12.9%, but still had a good presence.

Creamy, lighter Pinot. Some acid and red berry flavor. May just concentrate as it ages.

Light on its feet with a nice nose of red fruit. The palate is savory red fruit with good acidity that works great with food. This has a lot of time to develop and I wish I waited a few more years.
