Although the vineyard is source to some very great bottlings by others, this one has a sharpness throughout that detracts. The green mint taste suggests unripe tannins to the red cherries and pomegranates. Unlikely to age, so drink now.

Has a nice texture, like silk in the mouth, and lots of zesty acidity, just the way you want Pinot to be. Lots of ripe red and black cherry, cola, sassafras and persimmon flavors, too. It’s tempting to rave about this wine, until a certain unripeness hits. It’s subtle, but distracting, and destroys ageability.
