March 21, 2020 - Last bottle and this is in a great zone. Plenty of rich red and black cherry with good spice and earth tones. Medium concentration with plenty of structure holding it together.

May 14, 2017 - Sweet wild strawberry and raspberry fruits. Touch of sous bois. Mineral notes. Soft, easy drinking palate. Nothing too chunky. Generously acidic. Plenty of fruit. Juicy.

July 16, 2015 - Still a bit young but effortlessly manages fruit/acidity/earth in a way that trumps higher priced Russian River Pinots and subsequently creates drama in tasting rooms to disbelieving couples wearing Rombauer and Kosta Brown t-shirts (re)spectively. Bright blackberry and brambly minerality on the palate. This will get better.
