Score 95/100 · Drink 2023-2032, Josh Raynolds, Aug 2020

Shimmering ruby-red. A highly aromatic bouquet evokes fresh red and blue fruits, Asian spices and potpourri, along with a smoky mineral overtone and a touch of fresh bay. Juicy, seamless and precise on the palate, offering mineral-laced raspberry and cherry preserve, boysenberry, rose pastille and spicecake flavors that deepen and spread out through the back half. Delivers a suave blend of power and finesse and finishes with silky tannins, outstanding clarity and superb, floral- and mineral-driven persistence.

The oak is strongly toasty and spicy on the nose of this youthful pinot, ahead of ripe red-cherry, plum and boysenberry aromas. The palate concentration is exceptional with rich, ripe black cherries and blueberries delivered on a plush, supple and ribbon-like array of long, noble tannins. Exceptional quality here. Drink or hold.
