  June 1, 2023 - Classic Hirsch vineyard. Deep ruby color, lots of concentration but good acidity to balance fruit, long finish. In a good drinking window

  January 31, 2022 - Sans aucune hésitation, pinot nouveau monde, mais l'aération lui donne tout ce qu'il lui faut pour laisser exprimer la fraîcheur et la légèreté qui lui donne des éléments plus propres aux pinot bourguignons. Confiture de framboise, marmelade à l'orange sanguine, thé noir, sous-bois et poivre Sansho, belle acidité qui permet d'éviter une surcharge fruité en bouche, bonne finale bien poivré et fraiche. Sur son plateau, à boire.

  June 8, 2021 - This wine is really tasting great right now !! I agree with my tasting note of one year ago, perhaps one notch off my rating last year, could be just past peak. The cork was remarkably perfect after over a decade in the bottle. I consumed this delicious Pinot Noir over two days. Dark ruby color with little to no oxidation, clarity was medium. Aromas of pomegranate, cranberry, fresh fig, and black tea; flavors of black cherry, red fruit compote, rhubarb, glycerin, and marine soil with a medium to long finish. Popped and poured, this wine did not benefit from additional air since the fresh fruit flavors were replaced with dried fruit flavors on day two. This age worthy wine has many more years of life left. A very balanced flavorful Pinot Noir from a fabled vineyard in the Sonoma Coast Appellation. A great fruit source and a good winemaking effort from Ehren Jordon. I still have a bottle of this vintage remaining; I may open it soon to verify my rating and potential decline.

  June 11, 2020 - Perfect cork after a decade in the bottle. Consumed over two days, fruit more predominant on the first day. Ruby color with little to no oxidation, clarity medium. Aromas of olive, fresh fig, and black tea, flavors of black cherry, cola, and raspberry compote with a long finish. A very balanced flavorful Pinot Noir from a fabled vineyard in the Sonoma Coast. This age worthy wine may have more years of life left. Great job Ehren, a very good effort.

  May 13, 2020 - It smells like black olive, fig, tea, black currant (cassis) and game. The wine looks garnet colored. The legs are fast. There is no sediment in the bottle.
