April 6, 2020 - REALLY good, super smooth with great balance throughout and a wonderful finish. Drinking perfectly without any decant.

January 18, 2020 - Still fantastic. Herbaceous and peppery with lingering black tea and cola flaves. But also, a fantastic pairing with bucatini alla amatriciana, so how do you like that?

November 2, 2018 - Fantastic Burgundian nose with CA Pinot on the palate (but good Sonoma Pinot). Drinking very well now. I'd say it has 3 more years left and is probably at it's peak, and I like aged wine. Drink up.

December 26, 2017 - Drank over 2 days. The nose is great. The tart acidity hangs through the finish leaving something to be desired. Notice the rim is changing color, not really browning though. Not sure how much longer.......

April 5, 2017 - Delicious, classic Sonoma Coast Pinot Noir, with a melange of red fruits, perfectly balanced acids and tannins, and delicate hints of tobacco and iron. This wine represents an outstanding effort in a difficult vintage. Bravo!
