A restrained #california #pinotnoir that had med + intensity and was quite spicy on the nose. There was also reductive notes and possibly a little #brettanomyces characteristic. There was less fruit on the palate with nice acid and tension. The tannins were firm and the length was medium. #arnotroberts #oldworldstyle #santacruzmountains #ctbucklinwine

Bright red fruit and an earthy finish.

Kamall

Savory and spicy.

I’m a noob to Santa Cruz pinots, and looking forward to exploring the appellation in time. PnP at cellar temp. Very light in color and body, true to its 12% abv. Nose is immediately intense and complex. Freshly baked cherry pie, sweet baking spices, botanicals, just-lighted bonfire, wet forest floor, soy sauce, and a catch all of funk. Palette is tense at this age, striking in the front and lifted in the mid. The finish lingers to infinity like a sherry would. Beautiful and very Burgundian. But an unusual bedfellow to tonight’s dinner of frozen pizza

After the reduction blew off, I like the nose. But finish was too short.

Doug Sayed

Amazing richness and flavor without any excess weight in 12% abv package. Savory red fruits with well-integrated tannins and a flavorful savory finish. Very nice now with a one hour decant, probably better in a year or two.
