    July 20, 2017 - Spice on the nose, bright AND rich on the palate as is expected from the region. Drinking very well right now with no decant. Great QBR.

    April 24, 2015 - Nice nose, but rather one dimensional. Agree with jhannah27 that it is "one note " but an enjoyable note. Actually tasted better the second day. I can taste Santa Barbara PN but it is not as noticeable as with Jim's other efforts.

    February 1, 2014 - Seemed pretty tight throughout as it was kind of a one note. That said, I enjoyed the one note it does have. This seemed more like a Russian River pinot to me that Santa Maria with all of its cherry cola flavors. There were some underlying herbs and spices, but that was what seemed on mute for the most part. I wish there was a bit more to it. Acid is medium light, which worries me for the age ability of the wine, but all in all its a decent wine for the money
