April 29, 2023 - Still doing well after 12 years. Light to medium bodied and full of great cherry nose and taste.

August 17, 2022 - PnP, consumed over 1 hour. Appearance: Clear, medium ruby - dark for Pinot, but pretty typical for SC. Nose: Clean, medium+ intensity with developed aromas of baking spice, cloves, black cherry, raspberry, and herbs. Palate: Dry, medium acid and tannin, medium+ intensity, medium body, 14.4% abv with developed flavors of dried cherry, baking spice, and clove with a long finish. Overall this performed magnificently, over the brief hour spent with the wine it rounded out noticeably, hitting on all cylinders - balance, complexity, intensity and length. Can drink now or over next 2 years.

July 21, 2022 - 14.4% abv.
Received a partial bottle to try from my oenophile neighbor.
Served with roast beef. Clear dark ruby red on the pour. No bricking evident; bottle has always been carefully stored. Cherry & Raspberry on the nose. Exceptionally smooth, silk-like on the palate; Cola with Cherry. A nice round mouth feel with subdued tannins and moderate acidity. Nice lingering finish with the tannins and acid coming to the fore.
