March 11, 2020 - Spectacular. Still full of fruit, and with incredible body. Almost like a syrah in its tannins and backbone.

June 24, 2018 - See CSMM's note...Same profile. Big, rich, balanced, red and black raspberries, earth and sweet herbs... I even got the touch of maple. Lovely oak treatment. A stellar wine. Alas, my last bottle too.

March 2, 2018 - Dark black currant, black cherry, mulch, forest floor, dark maple syrup, and dark spice (clove). Fully resolved and coming into its final turn before starting its descent on the bell curve. It's certainly in the "drink now" phase of its life, so for those holding bottles, have at it. Soft and smooth on the attack, with a medium-bodied profile. Proof that these wines can withstand a little age and still hold up nicely. 8 years from vintage isn't too bad for a domestic Pinot that still maintains this much flavor and verve. Acidity seemingly low at this point.
93-94 points at the end of the day. A solid showing and a beautiful, satisfying bottle of juice. Definitely drink now...right now. -

August 4, 2017 - Not as plush as some of the other WHs, but the fruit and acidity has integrated nicely. This still has many good years ahead of it, but unfortunately, this was my last bottle.

December 27, 2016 - Deep ruby red with flavors of black cherries and cola. Some better than the bottle I tried about 6 months ago.
