  February 24, 2024 - Quick note. Popped and poured.
  
  Rich purple color. Lovely expressive nose of blue and black fruit and some forest floor. Notably clean and without any Brett in the nose which I sometime find in these wines. Medium body. Excellent balance. Good fresh acidity. Dark fruit in the mouth. Rustic. Some nice length that hints at herbal elements. Definitely not sappy. Slightly cool in the finish.
  
  Excellent wine. Easy to pair or drink on it's own. Real sense of place here. This is not meant to be every wine and that shows nicely. No oak for me. Maybe some subtle stem influence leading to vegetal flavors.

  February 17, 2024 - Thirty minute decant. Medium acidity. Fruit is subtle, with lingering oak notes. Decent finish. Overall, a decent pinot that is a versatile choice for a wide range of food options.

  September 10, 2023 - Double decanted and drank quite nicely. One of the favorites at the party. Still decent tannic structure and acid, could benefit from 3-4y more cellaring
