May 21, 2014 - This wine is not something I would drink without some food to mellow it out with. It was astringent, and not that flavorful. Just you basic Pinot Noir. Nothing special. Certainly not worth the money in my opinion. Maybe worth $15.00.

June 2, 2013 - Had this at the Vineyard Tasting room. (worth a visit) The wine is all vineyard fruit and made by Robert Brittain. Clones are Pommard & Dijon 115 grown at 550' that give it a very balanced Burgundian style wine. Bouquet is full & round with plum, cherry and soft berry textures. Taste matches the bouquet but is smoother than I have come to expect from 2008 vintage pinot. Plan to try a bottle tonight !!!

May 6, 2011 - Mountains to Metro (Heritage Ballroom in the Governor Hotel): A smack of oak on the nose with really dominates the aromas here. Only slight spice gets through as well. The palate is oaky, lightly spice, and pretty lackluster. Similar on finish.
