March 8, 2018 - No formal note, a very solid NZ pinot that is a little Oregonish, with more of a cola and fruit profile than others I have had. Well balanced and drinking well right now.

January 14, 2018 - Similar to last tasting note 12 months ago. Drinking well on pop and pour. Good value in Burgundian style pinot noir.

October 30, 2017 - Ruby color with ripe red fruit and smokey on the nose. Smooth, rich ripe fruit, cedar, and earth on the palate. Nice finish and well balanced.
