February 19, 2024 - Excellent balance: rich but bright, fresh and earthy. Clean mouthfeel, with a lingering finish. Delicious.

October 14, 2022 - different over three days. ripe, rich and a bit sweet mixed wild berry, with modest acidity; best on day three when it was leaner and silkier, a bit of black tea, and the acidity more noticeable. A warm climate pinot for sure

November 15, 2021 - ABV 14.1; lovely dried rose petals on the nose; very ripe, rich and smooth dark cherry and blueberry; evolves in the glass over two days; some clean earth, black tea, mocha, good fairly fine acidity. A hint of heat. Really good and now complex if you like a modern style pinot.

July 14, 2021 - Dark red cherry color with rose-colored meniscus. Ripe black and red cherry fruit, baked cherry pie, rhubarb and cola on the nose and palate. Fruit falls off quickly on the palate, so this may be near the end. A little flat on the finish; again, more due to bottle age than anything wrong with the wine. Once great but fading fast. Drink up.
