February 13, 2021 - This wine has been stored properly since we received it. Popped and poured without decant. Lighter ruby/garnet red. Light legs. Relative to other Sonoma Pinots this is a lighter wine. Is it past its prime? Hard to say since I did not test it earlier. Still enjoyable as a lighter Pinot which I personally enjoy.

July 14, 2014 - PnP served cool. Med body/intensity Anderson Valley Pinot. Well balanced/integrated with good nose/typical flavor profile. Long finish, good drinking window, nothing off. $59

May 9, 2014 - This was my wine of the night in the blind tasting. It's showing well now and I think it will improve with age. Wonderful nose. Floral, light. It seems to fill your whole nasal cavity. Mostly red fruits in the palate with some spices. Long finish. It shows great pinot noir elegance. I'd like to try this wine again in five or six years. I think it can age another decade.
