August 25, 2023 - Last pinot of the night for an all pinot noir tasting blind. Slow ox several hours then decanted and put back in bottle. Fitting end of tasting with this as the brawniest pinot so far. On nose right away vanilla quote strong too much oak for me. Nice fruit. Fairly harsh tannins on tasting. Needs more time think that will help

April 15, 2023 - Elegant and balanced but still a big Pinot Noir. Lots of bright, red fruit with a hint of smoke and a just a little steely granite. Just enough acidity for balance. Medium bodied with s delicate finish. I opened 45 minutes before drinking and the air helped to balance this.

December 30, 2022 - I thought this was good but it was a little harsh for a Pinot. Probably could age a few more years.

December 23, 2022 - A bunch of us went up to my club for a pre holiday lunch lunch so I brought a bottle out of my office storage. We pnp'd. Dark red fruit on the nose. The palate is dark cherry, plums, pipe tobacco and a hint of spice. The finish is long. A really nice wine.
