December 30, 2012 - We enjoyed this wine. Balanced, not overly oaky or buttery, with some nice pear flavors. Will buy again.

August 23, 2012 - Sparrow Hawk is interesting. The oaky partisans think it needs more wood and is too steely. The non oak advocates want some toothpicks subtracted. I think it swings both ways and I enjoy the nuanced balance. It appears that 2009 was a "one off" probably based on some purchased grapes in the aftermath of the economic troubles. If you've got, enjoy it.
