October 7, 2017 - This is not my style at all. Very sweet, macerated cherries dominate, and the sensation of sweetness overpowers everything else. This is Pinot at its worst, IMHO. Oh what a surprise, I bought from Garagiste.

October 12, 2015 - Wonderful complexity. Good fruit with numerous flavors that keep you guessing. Slight earthiness. Still has enough structure to last several more years. Long finish.

June 18, 2015 - This is a travesty ... Pure strawberry jam ala Fleurie Beaujolais ... This poor Pinot Noir grape has been violated via manipulation ... Shame on you Evening lands!

November 12, 2014 - I expected more from a wine of this price. A bit of over ripe fruit. A bit of fizz makes me wonder about MLF in the bottle. Well, one bottle, it was a gift. I guess I did not loose much but I am not sure I will hunt down any of their other wines.

July 20, 2014 - Floods the mouth with intense, luscious, tart, currant and chocolate notes with a touch of granite. Will benefit from a few years in the cellar.
