December 22, 2023 - A good New Zealand Pinot Noir.
Nose of delicate rose petals over barnyard and fresh red berries (raspberry/loganberry).
Medium body, supple tannins, good length. -

October 8, 2021 - This wine is showing beautifully right now. After a 2 hour decant wild strawberry and vibrant red cherry aromas were followed by a savory, well balanced, silky feeling on the palate. Long, satisfying finish. Glad to have a few more bottles on hand and will drink them throughout the next 2 or three years.

August 13, 2018 - Deep ruby red color. Cola dominates on the nose-reminds me most of Santa Lucia Highlands Pinot. Dark red cherry fruit, clove. Medium finish. Somewhat one dimensional.
