  April 20, 2019 - I really love how this wine developed as I opened it. Slow ox for about 60 minutes. Opened nicely, and while I agree with other posts, this wine doesn't completely live up to the price point, the structure is there and has a great nose. Fruit is there - and a bit smokey finish. Time to open for sure.

  December 10, 2017 - We had this wine a year ago; trying it again, with some time to let it age. Some of the same problems exist: lots of potential, but not quite living up to the price point. Weak nose. Non-descriptive flavor which fades on the mid. Very little finish. But the flavor profile is interesting - smoky and chewy, very soft on the palate. Drinks well on its own.

  December 18, 2016 - Good pinot, but not very bright. Not a spectacular wine, but very good - however, at the price point, we expect more. Mixed berry flavors, decent finish.

  October 18, 2014 - brimming with sweet fruit aromas of cherry, raspberry and notes of cinnamn and anise, this intense Pinot coats the palate with similar concentrated flavors intertwined with a hint of white pepper and clove adding to the complexity. Mature, smooth tannins create a soft, velvety texture while sweet oak notes add dimension. Only 500 cases produced. 100% Pinot Noir
