so dry, so crisply acidic, so silky in the mouth, and so rich in flavor. this is a truly distinctive pinot noir. it shows the variety's elusive personality, now rich in cherries and currants, withdrawing into minerals and herbs. yet the final impression is of fine, silky decadence. should develop in fascinating directions over the next 6–8 years.
