November 23, 2023 - Last of three bottles. Showing a bit of brown around the edges but one wouldn't know that by nose or on the palette. Drinking nicely in balance at present. Lovely cherry berry nose and flavor. Drink now or soon...
February 2, 2022 - Dusty red fruit, plenty of energy.
December 24, 2021 - Bad cork and a devil of a time getting it all out after splitting. Once .the wine wasf filtered, and fearing the worst, the magic started. Deep garnet color, deep cherry nose and raspberry cherry fruit in the palette. Paired wonderfully with filet mignon on Christmas Eve. Drinking very well now--Wish we had more than one bottle left.,,
November 29, 2021 - The nose is perfume and red fruit. Mouth strawberry, cherry, white pepper, and wood. It took 2 hours for the wine to really open up. It is well integrated with a medium-long finish and smooth tannins.
December 31, 2020 - Rich and brooding Pinot with cherries, forest floor and back-notes of strawberry and black tea. On day one, the tannins along with the tea created a dry, astringent finish. On day two, fruit perked up and continued through the finish in an enjoyable way--adding to the note of black tea.
November 26, 2020 - Thanksgiving. A special wine for a special day and a special meal. Deep cherry red long legged wine. Strong cherry nose--lovely Pinot...
October 30, 2020 - Lot of jammy black cherry, bbq sauce, and herbal notes. Ready to drink.
July 16, 2020 - Great price for this at $30 but disappointing. Hardly tastes like a Pinot. More earthy with tea leaves.
September 20, 2018 - Very dark ruby color; black tea, black cherry, berry, barbecue sauce nose; juicy, black cherry, black raspberry, light toast palate with balancing acidity; medium-plus finish (14% alcohol; 10 months in French oak, 50% new; natural cork)
