  July 6, 2023 - Day three and the last 2oz left. A little bit of fine sediment. The rim is showing some browning. Deep and rich black cherry. Not nearly as punchy as the 2010 Calera CC. Really holding together well for a 12yr old domestic PN on day 3.

  December 24, 2019 - Feels more evolved to the aromas than the 2007, but that was a year or so since I had it that last. Dark cherry fruit, pomegranate. Generous fruit to the palate. Super suave palate. Still relatively primary, but showing a peek into maturity.
  Actually drinks well with M&Ms, brings out a fruit cocktail freshness in the wine.

  June 30, 2018 - This is a top notch Pinot. The nose is large and full but the body and flavors of berry, spices, cola are much more reserved. No need to drink now if you have this.

  November 24, 2017 - Dropped back to a 92. Not sure there's anymore evolution left in this vintage. It was a bit better the second day, which would suggest some time left, but not sure. More elegant style of pinot; not a Cali fruit bomb by any stretch of the imagination. Burgundian in bouquet and taste, particularly on day two. Enjoyed it overall, although the QPR isn't wonderful
