August 30, 2013 - Great Pinot nose. Fruit (cherries and raspberries) and smooth tannins. Excellent balance in the wine. At its peak- drink now.

January 13, 2013 - Poured through Vinturi. Nose of cherry and pomegranate. Flavors lean strongly toward the cherry but the pomegranate is there as well as a bit of cranberry. Good acidity, nicely oaked (not overly IMHO). Quite enjoyable on its own.

August 11, 2012 - Not as good as it was a year or two ago, but a decent Pinot for the price. Basic fruit, earth, and spice notes. Wouldn't hold for much longer. PJP 2012.
