Nose after a week is very fruit forward, with juicy dark fruits, dark chocolate, violets, with notes of crushed blueberry, BBQ sauce, wet graham cracker and wet moss/grass amongst a redwood forest. Meaty palate, medium to full bodied, dark red/purple, with notes of iron, blood, dark figs, plum, and currant, with hints of pepper, herbs (rosemary or thyme?), and redwood with fig skin, shale and slight acidity on the finish.

Simple label. Dark color. Flavors are robust and intense for Pinot. It’s not bad, but this is definitely CA red. Not subtle Pinot Noir

Big rich pinot with some finesse however very heavy handed on the new oak. First note is vanilla. Like bottle of vanilla extract vanilla. Lots of beautiful pinot character is hidden underneath the oak. Of course this is super young but I feel like the other bottlings are lighter on the oak usage. Harping on this but I was slightly disappointed. Not bad whatsoever but my expectations were a lot higher for this.
