September 6, 2020 - PnP through Nuance Wine Finer. Cherry and a hint of spice on the nose. Slightly tart cherry on the palate, a little herb. Nice finish. Really went well with grilled pork chop. 90+ pts. Aloha!

January 20, 2018 - 21 months later this has improved. Initially some tart red fruit but opened with some time to reveal cherry, raspberry, spice and a little secondary flavors. Not bad for $21 / bottle. I think even better with some more time /bottle age (or a good decant)
We tried this with a variety of foods. It was best with Atlantic salmon on toast with Old Bay spice (paprika, etc) but also very good with the wild and long grain rice with chicken broth and with grilled Atlantic salmon. Not as good with our New Zealand Ora King salmon nor with the pork sausage with fennel.
Probably even better with Mamoun’s or with Indian -

November 25, 2017 - Excellent cool vintage pinot, just on the upside of interesting secondary nuances. Raspberry fruit with herbs and mushrooms. Drinks well now but I believe it will get even more interesting.
