Mid to light crimson in colour. Red fruited, cherry and strawberry, and light spice - a touch of Sous Bois. Surprisingly light in palate weight - more fruit than savoury driven. Tastes a lot younger (and fresher) than 7 years of age. A sweetish jujube character on the palate - light tannins and acid. The following night, a stewed rhubarb character on the palate. In summary a very good new world Pinot if not a little on the light side.

Mid crimson in colour. Initial aromas after decanting of oak and vegetal notes. A little reticent. On the palate just medium weight with M plus Acid. At this age needs food. Probably just at the beginning of its drinking window - latent power, yet to blossom into its best expression. Revealed more on the 2nd night with quite a sweet palate developing. Will leave my 2nd bottle for a few years. A quality Pinot with a good future.

Not ready yet, took some decanting to bring out the mineral structure

Rich, ripe black cherry, fleshy dense core. Earthy, black mushroom, sandlewood, and woodsy spice with soft texture and juicy fresh acidity. Pairs great with stranger things!

Maybe just to young to be open now. Too fruity for me, but a great wine form SC.

Tasted the lineup which included a single vineyard and Syrah at the Hearts Delight press lunch. Nice structure and fruit but way too tight to really get a sense of how good i know these can be.
