December 21, 2023 - CT drinking window closed 3 yrs ago so I didn't hold out much hope for this last bottle. But I am pleasantly surprised! It is definitely time to drink it if you have any left as I don't see it getting better and it is likely past its peak. PnP with aeration (if you haven't tried a frother to aerate you definitely should). Nose is restrained and takes awhile to fully open and be appreciated. There is some nice complexity of the flavors on the palate. Up front fruit is fading but the earthy undertones and loooong finish just sing. This is a beauty in a good drinking space right now. Don't wait; drink up!

October 27, 2021 - Lushly delicious with roasted pork loin, squash and fennel. (To my palate, Oregon Pinot Noir benefits from ageing, more than do burgundies. Why? I don’t know, perhaps the higher alcohol level needs years to burn off to reveal the nnocent fruit).

February 24, 2017 - The nose evolved beautifully two hours after decanting. The plate is still a little tight. This wine could be very good.
