June 9, 2020 - Not giving much on the nose or palate. Dark, mineral-laden fruit on the nose with some hints of red fruit on the palate. Very subtle, was hoping for a bit more from this wine, to be honest
April 3, 2019 - Quick double decant, and open for a couple hours before drinking. Part of a blind tasting of 8 pinots from Burgundy, Oregon and CA. No detailed notes, but everyone at the table guessed CA. With 20/20 hindsight, the higher acid should have been the giveaway. Nice wine, but didn't stand out among the other wines tonight.
March 31, 2019 - Monthly Tasting Group: Blind Pinots Worldwide (The Bungalow Club, Mpls): Small taste, non blind, Earthy and red fruited, floral, very dank floral notes on the palate. I really like this one. 91+ to 92pts.
July 16, 2014 - Outstanding right of the gate. Expressive citrus and funky earth. The attack is brambly. Very compelling texture. Very long finish with sweet tannins and medium acid.
March 31, 2014 - This is a wonderfully bright, fat juicy Beaune that is popping right now.
June 12, 2008 - Deep dark ruby in color - aromas of ripe dark cherries and cocoa powder. A meaty frame with smoky but sleek fruits fill the midpalate. A substantial wine without being heavy - a great match for marinated skirt steak on the grill.
