December 7, 2023 - Still drinking OK - much to my surprise. Subdued fruit, some interesting tertiaries, plenty of acid. Drank best after bottle had been opened for 60 mins or so.

November 2, 2016 - Glass pour. Not sure how long this bottle has been open but it certainly lacks a bit of freshness. Alcohol heat, black cherry and plentiful oak (chocolate/nutmeg) on the nose. The palate is fruity, warm and a little sharp. It's a bit soupy. Actually I just think it's been served a touch too warm for me.

July 5, 2015 - Very tasty Sonoma pinot. The nose of redolent of high toned red berry fruits with hints of dried orange peel, black tea, and a touch of baking spices. The palate is fresh and lively with a lovely core of acidity driving red and blue berries, hints of earth, and savory spice. There are pleasant supporting tannins that are well integrated. The finish leaves bing cherry lingering. Very nicely done and will certainly age well for at least another 5-6 years.

May 18, 2014 - Opened and led off with as powerful a saline note as I've ever encountered in a Pinot. After about an hour, it integrated nicely and the whole package spoke strongly of Sonoma Coast. The saline and the herbal component (30% whole cluster) add nice complexity to the bright red fruit. Still seems early yet for this wine. Really lovely.
