  Dried cherry and wet stone with hints of oregano and wood. This has developed nicely. Nice long finish
  Maybe slightly past it’s peak but still very enjoyable.

  Clearly held this too long. No obvious flaws, just average, lacking complexity and depth.

  Getting toward the end of a batch bought direct. I thought this would mellow in time, a bit too ripe and viscous in its youth.
  
  Ruby red, fading a bit. Nose of red fruits, damp earth? Palate of bright cherry, strawberry, baking spice, red licorice, cherry cola. Thin through back palate and finish, a bit of heat showing up in the bottle.
  
  Bought this on reviews/recommendations at release. Never fully lived up to its press...decent wine in its youth, not my style

  Been a while since I have had this, in my cellar since release. PnP, drank over 90 minutes and again a day later.
  
  Ruby red, still good core color, slightly cloudy. Nose of red fruits. Palate of bright cherry, strawberry, baking spice, red licorice, cherry cola. More settled (from memory) with its age. Did not notice the heat I picked up last time. Smooth mouthfeel, tannins softened. Medium weight and finish. Nice secondary notes through the mid palate.
  
  For sure this is a CA, fruit forward Pinot. Age has mellowed it and drinking nicely. I would say this is good but not great. About where it will be, would drink remaining bottles over the next 2-3 years.
