The nose on this pinot is striking and broad, with handbag leather, mushroom, truffle, plum, and coastal forest floor. On the palate, the wine is very well balanced; some plummy weight and nicely integrated acidity and soft but weighty tannins. My favorite pinots are those I keep coming back to smell - and this is definitely one of them. I would personally cellar this for 6 months and start drinking it over the next 3 years. I expect the nose to really explode as it lays down- and for a savory and earthy pinot this is a really phenomenal pick to pop, smell - and smile. On my top 5 favorite pinots I have tasted this year.
