Glides across the tongue like it hasn’t even touched and disappears in to forever. I’d say delivers a silky smooth kiss on the way through but it’s a bit like a whisper, barely sensed. Rose, strawberry jam, cranberry, forest undergrowth. Biscuit and spice and fine feathery light tannin. Tremendous length. Promise of additional complexity but currently that is tightly coiled as intrigue, more about purity, shape, and length. Can see 96 in this at some time, though I won’t go there tonight.

Surprised by some of the prior tasting notes describing this wine as being limited in complexity. The nose is stunning; rose, beef, rhubarb, strawberry jam, toasted oak. Talc with some swirling.
Palate is precise but fans out with air. Juicy but complex. Still some grip but tannins are quite mellow. I think this has another 3 years or so until prime time. Superb value.

A Mount Mary night of Chardonnay (2017) and Pinot (2018). Super smooth. Medium-thin weight. No off notes. Probably smack dab in its drinking window. Not a wine I would bet on improving with age. Enjoy now.

Easy drinking, lightweight, smooth pinot. Beneficially lacked the bright cherry and cola flavors common to much American pinot. Agree with prior notes of floral and strawberry. Limited complexity.

Light fruits on the nose, with just enough muscle
