Tasting notes
Day One is entirely from the Hillcrest Vineyard, which was the first vineyard the three partners planted to make their first Pinot Noir. The 2019 Pinot Noir Day One is perfumed with sweet flowers, wild raspberry, and baking spice. The palate is juicy and inviting, with soft ripe cherry and a silky soft texture. It is approachable and delicious now, but there should be no rush. Drink 2022-2032. Founded by three childhood friends, Christopher Strieter, Max Thieriot, and Myles Lawrence-Briggs, Senses Wines has their estate holdings in the West Sonoma Coast and Russian River Valley appellations. With their esteemed winemaker, Thomas Rivers Brown, they are producing some exceptional Chardonnay, Pinot Noir, and a small amount of Cabernet Sauvignon. They have slowly and steadily expanded their production from just 600 cases in 2012 to approximately 5000 cases today.

The 2019 Pinot Noir Day One is the standout among these 2019 Pinots from Senses. The aromatics alone are captivating. Rose petal, blood orange, mint, star anise and sweet red berry fruit literally soar out of the glass. The balance of fruit, aromatics and structure is beguiling. This is impressive.
