Wanted a young Pinot with a strong spice signature to pair with Sami Tamimi's salmon skewers with baharat samak, and this did the trick: bright cherry fruit, cola, and spicebox. A little disjointed at first but smoothed out after an hour's decant. A solid representation of the house style, which will be better when it's more integrated. Not profound, but pleasing.

Black tea, strawberry leather, pomegranate, spice. Quite tannic. Good acidity. Long finish. I’d definitely recommend to hold this longer to let it all come together better. But it is quite good right now.

Full of perfectly ripe, dark fruits and some freshly grated ginger. There's some smoked meats and an iodine like mineral quality to the wine. It is rich and powerful, with decent structure. the finish has spice and some chew and is expansive.

Brilliant pinot, seductively rich, dark cherry and pomegranate and so much more--black tea, earth.

Decanted for two hours prior to tasting.
Nice peppery black fruit-dominated palate. Lots of grippy tannins. Good effort.
