November 22, 2016 - Nice wine but needs a few minutes for the cherry cola to blow off some. Cherry is still dominant and a bit like Luden's, candied as it were. The cola diverges into more varied flavors, some herbal, some spice, some cool. Overall a delicious wine.

June 25, 2015 - Drank on it's own without food. Fruit forward tart cherry, cranberry could use a little more structure. Not much issue with high ABV (14.9%). Opened up nicely as the evening progressed. A few years in the cellar have really help this wine but it is ready to go now.

February 17, 2015 - Nose: stinky, candy mint Palate: cherry cream, anise, big for a Pinot (14.9% alcohol), better after it sits in the glass for a couple of hours
