January 22, 2019 - This pinot is still going strong! BKC1428's note is pretty much spot on to my experience. The brambly strawberry, vanilla, and baking spices are quite evident. Good acidity, nice length.
This was drank over 3 days and didn't change a whole lot over that time. -

October 4, 2017 - This might be the best California Pinot Noir I've ever had! Dusty, brambly strawberry, ripe black cherry, pomegranate, vanilla, baking spices, and still plenty of acidity left. Might be at its peak right now, or at least damn near it, but it can last for many more years!

July 5, 2017 - Was in the Lompoc tasting room this weekend and Kate encouraged us to grab a bottle each of the '10 (this one) and the '11 as part of the monthly 25% off sale she was running. Put the price a little over $30 a bottle plus tax iirc.
Plum, blackberry, gunpowder, black cherry, mint, apple pie a la mode. Still carrying some baby fat at the same time that secondary characteristics are emerging. Very interesting for it, and manages to come off youthful overall. Highly recommend buying at least a few bottles and revisiting over the next 5-10 yrs. -

March 6, 2017 - Fun to drink but ultimately a bit ripe for my ideal Pinot. Probably would not hold these bottles much longer as they are tasty now and from a hot at harvest vintage. Tasty but not much feminine elegance here.

December 3, 2016 - Pretty tasty stuff drinking well right now. Definitely not a lightweight and probably not my choice for a meal but it does make a great beverage to welcome guests with.
