January 15, 2023 - This was our third bottle of this wine (6 of which were received directly from the winery upon release and kept in professional wine storage until removed for consumption) and it continues to disappoint. Based on previous experiences, this bottle was decanted for 1 1/2 hours with the last half glass held to 2 1/2 hours after opening (per OldWines TNs). This bottle could not stand up to the aeration and whatever fruit was present kept fading with time. The color was a light violet to a faded rim. Light cherry and earth notes on both the nose and the medium to minus bodied palate. I think the next bottle will be a PnP....

Your positive review was almost six years ago and most of the favorable reviews of late don't have any content, just a score. We're still big fans of their Pinot and Chards and will continue to give them good aeration (except maybe the 2013...). Cheers!
