The second vintage of this new project. 75% is matured in barrel, 25% in tank. Glowing vibrant purple. At first there was something a little bit sunburned on the nose unlike the 2019, but after a while in the glass the bouquet just kept getting better and better as the fruit developed. There is a slight trace of the gravelly graphite quality, but a seductive sweetness of high quality pinot as well and very long. The 2019 was a slam dunk from the first sniff, but I think the 2020 is closing in on the same exceptional quality.
A touch of smoke in the aroma, the flavors are more complex with attractive black cherry fruit domination. A leaner wine with a fairly round texture, but there is enough fruit to make for a tangy-tart, satisfactory, minerally finish.
