January 13, 2023 - Most of this was drunk without dinner, fwiw. On opening, this seemed like a very Cabernised PN--obvious oak; dark, opaque purple; lots of extraction. I wasn't sure I was going to like it as wine, never mind PN. But it changed over time. Didi it ever become a haunting, aromatic, exotic and floral wonder? I've decided that only Nebbiolo consistently fills that role. (Sorry, but I've had plenty of Burgundy that was over-oaked, tricked up, or insipid, so this is not just a Cali thing.) But this became more like a PN, a more aromatic, floral (violets) and less bombastic wine. By the end of the bottle, both my wife and I agreed it was an enjoyable wine, and an interesting take on the grape. But not our favorite.

April 28, 2015 - PnP. Medium deep red - long legs. Floral red fruit nose. This has gotten a bit angular with age, with the fruit still present in the front palate but then tangy acids on the back. Certainly not as enjoyable as it was earlier. May develop more with time in the glass but uncertain.

November 18, 2013 - rich and lush with a peppery pinot finish. A little too much fruit / forward - a little uncharacteristic for a nice subtle pinot (how I measure it!)
