  November 26, 2023 - Sometimes the CT drinking window suggestion is on point. Sometimes not. This bottle was still remarkably good a touch of bricking, rounded fruit, but structure still intact.

  July 6, 2022 - Really good - delivers on the promise of the wine when it was young. Dark fruited, as this vineyard tends to be (fwiw I prefer murto); some tertiary soy; full mid palate and a velvety texture with resolved tannin; but good acid - medium bodied and excellent with food. Very very good for domestic Pinot

  July 29, 2021 - Following a similar trajectory to past notes, this had a deep burgundy color, with black cherry, herbal notes (sage/thyme), and pine resin. Aged 18 months in used French barrels, the tannins were fully resolved and the palate was both plush and full but not fat with a modest finish. An exceptional bottle today, but would recommend drinking within the next 5 years. 785 cases produced.

  February 11, 2018 - Beautifully textured, lovely medium body, with predominantly black cherry fruit. Drink now: oak is perfectly integrated, but the fruit is (just barely) starting to fade.

  August 22, 2017 - Absolutely delicious! Deep red and blue berry fruit, an array of red spice, a hint of anise. Perfect drink window. I can't imagine this wine drinking better with much less or more age.
