4/28/2024 - Bimal Likes this wine: 90 pointsbeautiful color more extracted and denser then the thiner versions, fuller body, pepper, has still young tannins, very pleasant, very fresh. Very good structure and solid body with good fruit. Lacks any nuance. Should evolve with time and improve. |

4/6/2024 - ylkim30 Does not like this wine: NRWTF? On the first sip, smacked in the mouth with huge, scorched, toasty, pruney fruit. I really wished there was a dump bucket, but I managed to power my way through it and was glad I didn’t take a big pour. Yikes, not good. |

4/2/2024 - ShadowIII Does not like this wine: 85 pointsHuge almost syrupy fruit, the real problem is ETOH (15.2%), drinks hot, unbalanced, over extracted |

3/28/2024 - Wamrod wrote: 91 pointsOur first red of the night, paired with sausage paella. Dark purple and opaque, with solid legs. Nose of blackberries and currents. Rich on the palate with an unmistakable ZING of acidity that softened after 15 minutes in glass. Very enjoyable - even more so after 10 minutes. |

3/25/2024 - hosscrow Likes this wine: 94 pointsI've enjoyed several bottles of this wine and it's one of my favorites. One thing I learned-the wine is drinking beautifully now, but still requires, at least, a 1 1/2 hour decant for the secondary characteristics to emerge. Intense ruby red color. Complex nose featuring tart cherry and cola, clove spiciness, the deepest note is tea leaves, no mushroom funkiness, maybe foresr floor. Unique characteristic-mouth-watering juiciness on a texturally soft, velvety frame that finishes long with a pleasantly bitter finish. Mendo pinot all the way. |

3/1/2024 - Aris1a Does not like this wine: 88 pointsFruit driven Pinot noir. Lots of berries here, but too extracted for my taste, followed by kahlua and overtones of pepper and bitter orange jam. A bit disappointing. |

2/26/2024 - Puligny33 Likes this wine: 93 pointsI enjoyed this. Drinking beautifully now. Smooth but with a tiny amount of tannin providing some grip. Red and some black fruit and well balanced. Probably has another 3-5 years to go. |

2/10/2024 - ShadowIII wrote: 91 pointsAt 12 years old still brooding, dark cherry, cranberry, still a little closed on the nose, 14.9% but such a big wine hides the ETOH, but I would not describe as elegant |

1/20/2024 - tomlee wrote: 94 pointsRuby red in color. 14.2% ABF. Rustic nose of red fruits, cloves, earth and flowers. Medium body with perfect acidity. Packed with crunchy, earthy fruits. Black cherry, strawberry, cranberry and minerals on the palate. Exceptional length on the finish. Stunning Pinot Noir that got better as the night went along. Give this a little time. Best over the next 3-5 years. |
