March 3, 2024 - Overwhelming Dark fruit flavors, tannins, and acids. I never would have guessed this was a pinot noir.

November 26, 2023 - Pale ruby in the glass. Nose of smoky cherry, pinecone. Taste - full flavoured, of red cherries and cranberry, well integrated tannin and some spice. Young yet enticing, I’d order more.

August 15, 2023 - Medium ruby.
Black cherries nose/palate.
Good wine, although I prefer the Parker Station Pinot Noir from the same producer.1 person found this helpful Comment -

November 29, 2022 - Rich and fully extracted this had flavours of black cherry infused with chestnuts and spice. It had a polished texture developing dark chocolate on the finish. Although the use of oak is apparent it has provided spice and is now fairly integrated.
Compared to a classic red Burgundy, I found this rather atypical, but judging this on its own merit, not dislikeable. Would I buy a bottle, the answer is no, but then again, I wouldn’t refuse a glass. CHP 87 pts1 person found this helpful Comment -

October 19, 2022 - Haunting aromas of cherry, woodsmoke, pine. Sweet. Evocative, romantic, deeply seductive. Hypnotic. A fellow taster says it shouldn’t really be aged - it’s at its peak now. Hmm! I can easily disagree with that, but he might have a point. I love this, it’s gorgeous.
