Right out of the bottle, this is exactly as advertised: lean, clear, savory. Raspberry, grass, good acidity. real winner of a first vintage.

Slight hint of bricking. Palate has evolved in that fruit is fading and overall body and mouthfeel has thinned/lightened. There are tertiary notes of raisin. Overall, this was really fun to drink, but I wouldn’t hang on to it much longer.

This is what I am loving about the current version of Sonoma and Russian River Valley Pinot Noir. It is light, with under ripe fruit, primarily raspberry and cherry, with very minimal oak. The acidity is forward, in the mouth is silky. This is great with food, and light enough to be drunk alone. Exactly what I want from pinot noir these days.

After an hour or so of air, the mouth field gets more full, and more floral.
