January 20, 2024 - As others have said, a very pleasant surprise. Really the only fault is the short finish, and maybe a missing wow factor. Nose is berry and spice, almost Italian. Perfect structure with enough tannins to give it plenty of body but still a soft and supple wine. Drinks on the fruitier, bright berry side of pinot. Very easy to gulp. Everybody would like this.

June 28, 2020 - Blue and red fruits on the nose, cherry, blueberry, blackberry. Grippy, grainy, stemmy. Spicy and herbaceous.

December 22, 2019 - Very savoury, needs a few more years in the cellar. Very good with 3 hours of air minimum prior to consuming.

July 17, 2019 - Now here's a surprise, lifted dark fruits and spice w/ complexity & depth. The fruit is quite sweet but it has good energy and length. Enjoyed this more than I thought I would.
