I was hugely impressed by the energy, balance and completeness of this newly released pinot. It is from the maturing ridgetop vineyard in a vintage being hailed for its ripeness if lower crop yields. It is very lifted and fragrant with classic red cherry, florals, forest floor and French oak spicing (large 60HL barrels for 18 months). It is classically light to medium weight, very even and effortless but not at all soft. Tannins are finely weighted as well. The length is excellent to outstanding. Tasted February 2025. Score - 94.
