December 22, 2022 - Light ruby color with some orange around the rim. The nose was packed with red fruit, cherry and raspberry, and a touch of aged funk that blew off quickly. This was light-bodied and silky on the palate with higher acidity to provide lift. Overall, this was a lovely, aged pinot with solid fruit and zippy acidity. One of the best $25 wines out there, especially for a 10 year old pinot. Well done, Ed Kurtzman.

April 24, 2021 - Opened not decanted. Dark cherry on the nose with floral notes with a hint of oatmeal(!). Dark saturated cherry on the entry; light to medium weight in body; noticeable heat; ends with semi dry spicy cherry finish. Good.
With air more plum on the nose and the heat is receding. -

September 10, 2020 - A nice pinot at the BD price.
Bright fruit, smooth tannins.
Earth, cherry, some tart cranberry which resolved with air.
Balanced acidity. Decent length on finish. Holding strong. -
