Score 93/100 · Drink 2021-2038, Neal Martin, Nov 2019

The 2018 Family Vineyards Seadragon Pinot Noir is matured in tight-grain oak barrels like the Windansea. This is more backward on the nose by comparison, showing a slight reduction that should blow off. The medium-bodied palate is pure and sensual, delivering supple tannin and leading to a lightly spiced, Gevrey-like finish that lingers in the mouth. A wonderful Pinot Noir that should age with style.

Second vintage of this single-vineyard Pinot to be released in October 2019. Their oldest vines. Pale ruby. Really rather warm, ripe nose and then lovely freshness on the palate. Another wine from this address that seems rather maritime. Already fun to drink with lots of undertow and a very delicate hand regarding oak. (JR)
