  February 4, 2021 - Drank over the course of three nights. the first night, there was a ton of raspberry and plum on the nose, with a sweet piecrust element to it as well. On the palate, medium acid, medium tannin--very well balanced for a CA pinot and not at all over the top. More fruit, but also minerals/bay leaves/cloves/orange zest on the finish. On day three when I cam back, the nose was absolutely beautiful: dried rose petals, plum, minerals, and pomegranite. Juicy fresh acid, tannins mostly resolved. The fruit was more reddish than it had been on the first day. Absolutely no rush to drink these--it seems that they'll get better with time.

  December 18, 2020 - Cherry, raspberry, cola, and an underlying streak of vanilla on the nose. Cherry with a good dose of minerality to follow. Medium body with a short finish. Solid entry-level Pinot Noir with a good QPR. Perfect for a weeknight.

  October 10, 2020 - Redder toned nose--lots of cherry/pomegranate. Some earthy background. Crunchy. A bit of tannin/acid. Really quite good with all the earthy red fruit. Probably enough acid to hang on for about ten years.
