Tiny Tank Pinot Noir
“The 2022 Pinot Noir Tiny Tank is incredibly light in color, with a translucent ruby hue. A vibrant bouquet of wild strawberries, rhubarb and spice is elevated by the slightest tinge of volatility. The palate is soft-textured and built on purity, with ripe red berry fruit and mineral tones swirling throughout. Rosy inner florals resonate over a twang of cranberry that keeps the mouth watering for more. About as fun and drinkable as it gets.”

“The 2021 Pinot Noir Tiny Tank is spicy with a burst of savory herbs and blood orange, giving way to dried black cherries and hints of tobacco. This is silky-smooth with medium-bodied weight and juicy red and blue fruits flowing over a vibrant acidity core. A sweet herbal thrust adds dimension through the finish as the 2021 tapers off with fine tannins, leaving hints of salted licorice and olive tapenade. There is simply so much going on here. The Tiny Tank is a Pinot that is full of surprises.” ~Eric Guido, Vinous, January 2024
