  March 24, 2024 - Decanted 30 minutes. Light color and typical Kynsi funky nose. No more cellaring is needed and unlikely to improve from here. Wine is still very good but tannings fading. Great drinking now. Drink up.

  February 14, 2024 - Sentimental wine for me as our son went to Cal Poly San Luis Obispo & we were wine club members and went there often. The Bien Nacido I always loved has been replaced by Solomon Hills but always loved this wine.

  October 29, 2023 - Lots of oak vanilla on the nose & palate. Ripe fruit typical of CA Pinot’s. I still can enjoy this style periodically but don’t want a steady diet of it.

  June 8, 2023 - Same as previous bottles. Ripe (some would say over ripe) fruit, vanilla & Oak. Red fruits dominate. Nice complexity and flavor layers. A bit sweet typical of the area but it lends itself to drinking by itself which is a positive. Unlike Burgundy & Oregon PN that I think is better with food. I will probably always have some PN’s in my cellar for diversity but I’ll always have moreBurgundy.

  November 27, 2022 - Lots of sweetness. I’m growing out of this style but get why many like it. A style I used to love but have moved on.
