This is a closed down, closed up, tight version of single vineyard Pinot Noir from the man with one name (Thomas). Spicy-peppery and dark fruited with earthy tannins, cedar and anise notes … there’s also some bitter cranberry in here – it needs time, be nice to see this one in three years to see where it is at … but now it’s pretty harsh. Price: $45.00 – Rating: *** ½
