March 30, 2024 - This mag has been sitting on my breakfront for the past few years , finally opened it up and drank half last night over 3-4 hours. Aged pinot , some secondary that blew off after an hour or so. Cinnaman , roasted red and purple fruits, this wine is in very good shape. Will drink the other half tonight. A bit more of a burgundian style pinot than a california fruit dominated wine.

March 19, 2021 - PnP. Light ruby in color. Exhibits warm aromas of red cherry, raspberry, and red currant with subtle spiced notes of clove, nutmeg and vanilla. Medium bodied with nimble balance; bright red fruit flavors are delicately interwoven with warm spice notes. Sits lithely on the palate and unwinds with evenly distributed finish. Not a ton of depth here but altogether a very enjoyable effort. Drink now.

June 6, 2020 - Had a glass then left it in the fridge for three days to see how it evolved. Interestingly it evolved pretty well. The nose decayed a bit but still showed some nice floral, Pinot fruit and earth notes. The palate improved in some ways as the oak integrated nicely and the black cherry fruit character remained ripe and prominent making this a bit lighter on its feet then when I opened it.
