April 22, 2024 - Excellent. Powerful aromas of dark cherry, raspberry, black tea, violets, baking spices and forest floor. Fruit quality is outstanding. Round, plush, silky but with enough acidity to package it all together. My first experience with treehouse, and it was a winner.
December 9, 2023 - Outstanding. Tried at 75 minutes (was still closed but delicious) and then again at the 3 hour mark with dinner. Beautiful dark fruit, perfect acidity. Ran a little hot and the finish wasn’t particularly interesting/complex, which prevented a higher score, but I would buy many more bottles.
November 26, 2023 - Decanted for one hour (as I finally remembered to refer to my previous TNs). The color was a deep dense violet. The nose was heavy with dark fruits and some earth. The medium plus bodied palate overflowed with black currant, blackberry, black cherry, raspberry and plum, along with some spice and black tea. The acidity was very crisp and sufficient to balance all of these fruits, while there was just a touch of tannin on the finish.
This is a bruiser of a wine and will continue to hold for years to come. Feel free to enjoy it now, but give it some air!
July 30, 2023 - Decanted for 45 minutes, but better after 1 hour. This bottle was as enjoyable as our previous bottle on 4/6 and showed more blue and black fruits along with the dark red. Can definitely cellar but is highly enjoyable now -- with air up front.
July 8, 2023 - Past its prime - becoming a bit pruney.
May 11, 2023 - Disappointing. Horrible QPR.
April 7, 2023 - Beautiful Pinot. Black cherries with earthy complexity.
April 6, 2023 - Only had 15 minutes of decanter time before the start of the meal. The wine continued to open and develop in the decanter as the second glass was better than the first, and the last pouring was the best. Give this wine at least 45 minutes in the decanter and you will be rewarded. The wine darkened with more air to get to a deep dark purple. The nose was heavy with dark red fruits and a touch of earth. The medium to plus bodied palate showed lots of black cherry and raspberry, some blackberry, currant and plum, a good dose of spice and a touch of herbs. The acidity was juicy and balancing, and any tannins were integrated. This wine can definitely cellar for some additional time, but is quite enjoyable now - with air!
January 4, 2023 - Opened and poured this wine is drinking great. Had it with some charcuterie, smoked salmon, and cheese. Tasted even better after about 45 min. Drink now!
November 24, 2022 - Had this with Thanksgiving. Is drinking beautifully right now. In a nice spot.
