May 1, 2019 - Drank over three nights. This is the first wine I've tried from Anam Cara, though I purchased four of their Pinot bottles nearly 10 years back. I think I might have waited too long to try this. It showed somewhat muted, flat, and atypical for the variety. There a touch of heat in this 15% ABV labeled wine with shy, slightly oxidative fruit. The bouquet burgeons with time in the glass, and some floral complexity emerges. The wine addresses the palate with spice and heat, but also with an extremely soft, supple and aged embrace. Heavier for a Pinot, particularly with that heat. I'm not entranced.

May 26, 2014 - Surprised that this was quite good compared to what I had two years ago. The sour taste mellowed and it was quite balanced between fruit and acidity. Light to medium body. Mixed red fruits - strawberry and red raspberry flavors and a very smooth finish. Looks like some west coast Pinots need aging. 90+
