Wine Enthusiast94 pts

Elegantly floral aromas of lavender and violet meet with cola spice and mulberry on the nose of this bottling, which manages to tame the appellation's common need for extended aging into an approachable, ready-to-drink style. The palate is full of rose petal and purple-flower potpourri flavors, with unique touches of blueberry and a hint of pepper on the finish.

Nearly perfect conditions resulted in fruit-driven and very expressive Pinots, yet the huge crop load means wines have notably less structure and energy than 2019
