January 30, 2023 - My last of a case…really one of my favorite new world Pinots ever ….immediately approachable …nose of raspberries and kiwi . Still youthful and explosive . Light raspberry and strawberry Tapestriy interwoven with kiwi and blueberry …long finish …ethereal …slight spice in the finish .

January 1, 2022 - getting up there in age...give 30 mins of air and it sings again! Consistent with my last tasting note/score other than needs 30 mins to come together.

April 25, 2021 - Big mouthful of dark, rich fruit. Great balance and fully resolved. I think this is likely past it's peak now but it is super good. My last bottle. (14.5% alc)
