October 24, 2023 - Tasted at The Wine Society UK's tasting of USA wines, London.
Medium Burgundian colour. The nose is promising, red berries, cherries, spicy. The palate seems a little young and still shows some harshness. I think it needs more time to soften and for the fruit to develop, Medium length. -

September 14, 2023 - Transparent violet ruby. Nose is quite fragrant - red fruits, vegetal, and Pinot funk. Strawberry rhubarb on the palate. Well balanced and clearly Pinot Noir but the finish is short and lacks complexity. Nothing much to get excited about. Med(-) body, med(+) acid, med tannin, med alcohol. Very drinkable but I am not convinced it’s worth the $28 I paid.

April 6, 2023 - Sweet nose. Ripe berries, dates.
Palate is medium. Full of fruit. Slightly too sweet for my liking.
Tannins are not intrusive and slightly chalky. (compared to the exquisite tannins in the 2019 Ata Rangi I had not long ago).
A bit too one dimensional. Mainly fruit forward pinot.
Easy drinking but probably not worth its £24 price tag from The Wine Society. -

February 9, 2023 - Medium minus nose shows light cherry, rhubarb, orange zest. Palate is also light, pretty fruit, light spice, cherry layers, citrus, light herbal. Very correct but could use more complexity.
