August 7, 2019 - Part of its longevity is due to the screwcap closure, which has allowed it to age slowly, it is still quite fruit forward but now a little licorice has appeared amongst the earthiness, there's also good spice and acidity to balance it all out.

September 29, 2015 - a nose of strawberry, clove, and anise leads to a palate loaded wine red berries like strawberry and raspberry, plus the addition of white pepper; the core of this wine is juicy with hints of white pepper, and good tannins on the finish.

August 6, 2013 - A strong, musty nose; game and flowers. This pinot had back bone; being very young but not very bright. I was reminded more of a flashy cabernet sauvignon more than a pinot. There was no lighter distinction between sips, no evolution. All the flavors limped along, however it was tasty and refreshing despite the tannins and pale suggestions of stone and loam. This wine may calm down in a few years.
