March 18, 2023 - The color of cranberries on the rim shading to ruby at the core. Cranberries dominate the nose, but abundant black cherries, cinnamon, cola, vanilla, and a touch of smoke all take a place at the table in this well-crafted, solid Pinot. The lengthy finish wraps a satisfying bow on this package. 14.8% alc. and not a whiff of heat. With grilled ancho and cocoa dusted bone-in pork chops. 03.18.23. Recommended.

March 10, 2019 - The nose is more complex than the recent Cargasacchi with an interplay of cola, vanilla, black cherry and teaberry. But the wine fails to deliver on the palate. It’s quite linear and very sweet. No doubt the fruit is exuberant. It could be the pairing is simply too mis-matched to allow a proper showing of the wine. The wine definitely fights with the bourguignonne. Some slight sediment. 14.8% alc. With beef bourguignonne. No Recommendation at this point.

March 27, 2017 - Medium garnet. Full of flint, soil, berry seeds, sulphuric. Explosive taste, like granite berry skins, eucalyptus, graphite. Extremely bright. A bit chewy, this isn't weak Pinot.
