DuMOL's 2020 Flax Estate Vineyard brings to mind the word "seamless." Round and mouth-coating, it evolves nicely in the glass, with no sharp edges. It seems to have plenty of life left, but also seems to drink quite well now with just a little bit of air #wine #russianriver #california #pinotnoir

I believe this is Arinto-dominated with some Verdelho (yes, I cheated and googled it). Arinto is a grape I always like. Good acidity, can project depth. it's popular in lots of different PT regions. For my money, it needs to project a nice backbone to reach its full potential, but it's versatile.
