Those who prefer their Pinot on the earthy, funky side will dig this version. The ripe red-cherry and strawberry fruits still dominate, but a strong line of secondary characters—meat, graphite, vineyard floor and a green leafy note—is hard to miss. The palate isn't what you'd call generous, but it's again laced with heaps of interesting sappy stony savory nuances, held together by a tight fistful (or mouthful) of drying angular tannins.
