Drank bottle- 6/1/16
Open and first few taste the wine was tight but opened up nicely.
Although approachable now it can use a few more years of cellaring.
Nose and palate- sweet black fruit with hints of toast, vanilla And chocolate.
Tannins are gripping but not overwhelming.

Drink bottle 5/19/16
Open and venturied. Decanted for an hour. The wine was tight when opened but did open up a bite. Medium body with red fruit with hints of earth. Bottle had hints of brett- could be corked. Tannins need to settle out.
Drink next bottle 2018 at the earliest.

Drink bottle- 5/15/16
Opened and decanted about 60 minutes. Bite unbalanced towards fruit. Needs more time for the fruit to recede.
Hold last bottle for 2-3 years

Old world style Pinot noir. Very restrained and elegant. Balanced with notes of red fruit, earth and minerality.
Drain next two bottles within the next year.

Very young wine but is approachable. Needs time to develop. Great black fruit but over powers the potential secondary flavors. Tannins are soft.
Drink next bottle in 2018.

Drank bottle- 10/15/14
Venturied and decanted for 2.5 hours; drank over the next two hours. Initially, when began to drink it was still on the tight side. Towards the end of the 2.5 hours it really opened up.
Combination of both red and black fruit with mineral hints with gripping tannins.
Drink the next bottle after 2017.
