October 2, 2016 - Excellent timing
Ripe with lots of cherry blue berry pepper tabaco with a smooth after taste
August 3, 2014 - - Ruby color with medium forming legs - Loving this, great berry fruit velvet on the tongue. For a Pinot, more Oregon than California. Give it a little more time and it will only get better.
August 3, 2014 - - Ruby color.
July 8, 2014 - A lacquered planky quality dominates the green cherried fruit. Elements of fungal undergrowth give it bottom, with top notes of alizarin roses. Lacking integration at this point, given a few years it should solidly settle into the upper echelon of mediocrity.
June 12, 2014 - - Ruby color with fast forming legs and aromas of tar, prune and blackberry and has flavours of tea, blackberry and prune.
November 28, 2013 - Light ruby red with aromas of strawberries and ripe red fruit. It was balanced, bright, integrated, a little acidic/tart and had flavors of ripe red fruit.The finish was clean and medium. It went great with turkey.
November 18, 2013 - Quite brisk and bright. Light ruby. Mostly red fruits, cranberry, strawberry, raspberry and such. Nice texture, somewhat light, and moderately tart.
November 16, 2013 - Started out a little flat, decanting for 1-1/2 hours helped a lot -- the nose came out after 2 or so. Pleasant, very slightly chewy, cherry/cola. Moderate-long finish. I'd buy again at $30.
September 5, 2013 - Exceptional Pinot Noir. Quality.
July 25, 2013 - Con Manina y Rafael. At Vincents
