  February 15, 2024 - Still a wonderfully fresh and complete wine in early 2024. Loads of Anderson Valley character - medium-bright fruit with a hint of earth and that slightly minty pennyroyal. Medium to light palate, but not underpowered at all. Plenty of acid - not always the case with wines of this level from this region - with an almost-long finish, even. Really nice wine.

  April 15, 2022 - No funk on this bottle. A solid Anderson Valley Pinot. It lasted a couple days recorked, but probably best with just a little bit of air.

  February 27, 2022 - Last couple bottles of this were rather musty on opening, and much better the second day. Best to give a good decant.

  August 31, 2019 - Cherries on the nose, a little more ripe, not as bright as typical for Anderson Valley, with a little spice. Medium bodied, slightly tanic, moderate acid, overall well balanced. Slightly earthy finish of medium length.
