Drinking beautifully. Tannins and acidity are softer, fruit is bright and mouthfeel quite silky. Seems like it has some more time left, still glad I had it at this stage.

Two and a half years later and very similar positive impressions. Perhaps not quite as excellent as that bottle, but once again a qpr king and an excellent representation of AFWE style pinot. Cranberry, blood orange, spices, crispy and alive. Light bodied, red fruit spectrum. Still several years left.

Really nice Pinot with bright acidity, red fruits, light smokiness and some asian spice. The mouth feel was bright and clean with a nice layer of spiced fruit atop the acidity. Good finish.

If you like bright red fruit and quite elevated acidity then you'll like this wine. For me it is too astringent - I like more depth, warmth( ripeness) and more earthy flavours.

Enjoyable rendition of '12 Pinot Noir from Sonoma. Just enough savory edge to keep it from falling into the forgettable flabby fruit-led vagueness that many '12s from this area are becoming. Not a wine for the ages - maybe another year or two in it at most - but a well-made example of the vintage, the region, and this producer's style.
