Really young now, this vineyard block bottling needs a little time to come into its own. Tasted in February, a combination of acidity and bottle shock has made it brittle. But it’s a very good wine, deliciously flavored, with a medium-bodied silkiness and Pinot’s exotic sensuality.

Dry, earthy and not showing a lot now, this closed wine needs decanting or a bit of bottle age to open up. Presently. a cloud of tannins is hiding ripe cherry, cola and tobacco flavors. Hard to predict where it will end up, but the structure suggests a year or two in the cellar.

Kind of harsh, with green, searing acidity. The wine is fully dry and silky, with decent cherry and spice flavors, but it has that cutting quality.
