Flavor of this wine is evolving. This is my seventh bottle over the past two years and with this one the coffee and mushroom flavors I noted before have dropped off and the wine seems much more integrated and lots of fruit has moved forward. A very nice wine.

Dark cherry, forest floor, mushrooms, soy, coffee flavors. A unique pinot in a good way. Beautiful dark ruby red color and nice consistency on the palate. Consistent with previous notes.

An interesting pinot, really distinct from others. Full and rich with deep fruit flavors along with coffee and spice. Did not decant but probably should have. Better the second day.

Got this bottle after visiting the Charles Krug tasting room in Napa Valley. Wasn't as good as I remembered. I have several more bottles and I am hoping that, given time, this wine will return to the greatness that I remembered it to be.

Think it is hitting its stride now. I have had 9 bottles of this wine over the years with the first being in 2015 and this is by far the best one.

Deep ruby colored with dark rich flavors of black cherry, freshly ground coffee, forest floor, and maybe a bit of soy. Not a typical pinot, but good.

Fruit forward and medium to full body. Fresh red cherry, strawberry, and some cola spice. Very smooth mouthfeel and finish.
