(12/14/2023) "The 2021 Burn Cottage Vineyard Pinot Noir is alive and energetic, svelte and composed. As I write this, I am sitting at the bottom of the Burn Cottage Vineyard in Lowburn, looking up the rows. This is a mineral, nuanced expression, with graphite and white tea, pomegranate pearls, raspberry licorice, rosehips and crushed pink peppercorns. This is what I came here for. It's thrilling, lacy, delicate and focused. Exciting wine, exciting drinking. It sits on the palate nicely--evenly weighted, and it spools through the long finish... yes! 13.5% alcohol, sealed under natural cork. Drink Date: 2023 - 2036."
(7/2024) "This vibrant red offers an energetic mix of black cherry, blueberry preserves, chai tea, black pepper and dried rose petal, with a whiff of hinoki incense. The plump tannins are stretched across the firm structure, creating a velvety impression on the long finish. Drink now through 2036."
