February 4, 2018 - A little hard to explain the nose, there was something different, not necessarily a smell, but just a feel that was unique to this wine. However, it was not unpleasant, just distinctive. Also, some strawberries, cherries, and spice. Plums, cherries, raspberries, and strawberries in the flavor. Medium to full body.

July 5, 2017 - I bought half a case of Neely wines a few years ago after reading fantastic reviews. I tried one and felt like it was very austere and picked too early for my tastes. Decided to put it at the back of the cellar and give it a few years. I am glad I did! This wine was fantastic!

August 4, 2016 - What a difference two years make. This Pinot Noir now has depth and rich strawberry fruit that has blossomed in the bottle. Beautifully long with a tangy spicy finish. Bright and great to drink.

July 7, 2016 - Similar to before with red cherry and strawberry fruit with subtle spice, cinnamon, and caramel notes. Good finish, nice wine.

September 22, 2015 - Excellent showing, vibrant, balanced and expressive with good presence and depth on the palate. Will revisit for upside in a year or two.
