While this bottling does benefit from a brief stint in a decanter or even open in glass, it takes only perhaps 20 minutes before it relinquishes its gorgeous perfume of violets, raspberries, plums, baking spice and a mushroomy-umami nuance. The palate is dense and plump, but still has an elegance and lightness to it. Tannins are beautifully textured like a cat's tongue. A complete wine to drink now–2030.
This has a very pure pink-grapefruit, pomegranate and red-cherry nose with a deeply spicy oak thread that sits well inside the fruit. Plenty of earth and some red flowers here, too. The palate has a very plush, energetic core of red-cherry, pinot noir fruit. A real statement of concentrated fruit. The tannins extrude smoothly and frame a long, juicy and fresh finish. Stunning pinot noir. Drink or hold.
Translucent gold. Mineral-accented white peach, orange, Anjou pear, saffron and floral qualities on the deeply perfumed nose. Concentrated orchard and pit fruit flavors are complemented by suggestions of tarragon, sweet butter and candied lemon peel. Melds depth and energy with a steady hand and finishes smoky and impressively long, with lingering Meyer lemon and pear nectar notes.
A touch on the smoky-oaky side at first, the 2018 Premium Pinot Noir does show greater concentration and depth than the Estate bottling. It's the lightest-bodied of the Pinots (12.6% alcohol), yet boasts ripe black cherries, herb and loam complexities, a solid core of fruit and terrific length on the silky finish.
