  March 29, 2024 - Still holding up well, see my last review in 2018, pleasant surprise that the wine hasn’t shifted or changed since 2018.

  November 3, 2018 - Its been almost 2 years since the last open bottle. The wine has aged nicely. The nose is somewhat more balanced with dark cherry, slight earthiness, and a hint of berry.
  The palate has a hint of dark chocolate and caramel, along with some citrus (perhaps light grapefruit) finishing with a mild amount of bubbly on the back of the tongue. Not a single bottle fluke, since we enjoyed it more than enough to open up a second botthle. Still finishes lighter, very mild tannins going to a smooth finish. Much lighter than one would expect from a PN, however quite enjoyable. Integrating well now.

  October 1, 2016 - Huge cali Pinot, more akin to a new world Grenache than Pinot. Very enjoyable though on its own. Nice job Stillman, this was a Mis ship and a wine I didn't even want but I am glad to have had it.

  April 25, 2016 - This is good, but to my taste the high-alcohol aspect doesn't work as well as it does in Stillman's syrahs, which I prefer to this.

  March 5, 2016 - Strong nose with dark grape, cherry, slight earthiness, and a hint of berry. Bold! The palate has again some grape, berry a bit of chocolate, light and thin tasting, going to a smooth finish. Much lighter than one would expect from a PN, however quite enjoyable. I can see this building and integrating in the next few years, however can be drunk now if you are looking for fruit forwardness.
