January 21, 2023 - No notes, however this was DELICIOUS. In the zone to enjoy now, plenty of time to develop for secondary flavors.

March 26, 2022 - Dark barely translucent ruby with hints of rust. Nose of billowing hyacinth and violets cut with satisfying berry and earthy astringency. Layers of fresh, gently ripe black cherry and raspberry accompanied by brier and iron ore. Freshening acidity and serious but filed off tannin leading to a long finish of red and black fruit, iron flecks, and fine soil. Lovely wine.

January 8, 2022 - 2008 Vintage. Drank at Peter White concert (from cerise). Neighbors actually liked it better than the Long Shadows Feather 2013 that we also brought to the concert; even though they usually prefer Cab Sauv (they actually liked it more than the 2015 Domaine Serene Evenstad Reserve Pinot Noir from the Christmas and New Year's Eve parties). So smooth. 2008 continues to impress.
