March 31, 2024 - Still deep red/purple color and even better than our last tasting two years ago. Blueberries, blackberries, black raspberries and cherries with some minerality in the nose and flavor. Very well balanced. an elegant wine, nice acidity, complex, great mouthfeel, medium to full bodied, and a long lingering finish. A perfect pairing with our grilled Easter turkey and trimmings.

December 11, 2023 - Annual holiday get-together (St. Genevieve): This was a good showing for this producer. Balanced, clearly acidic but the fruit is vibrant and holds up to the acid. This is a great expression of Sonoma pinot.

September 3, 2023 - I agree with Dietz, stewed fruits. One person said it reminded him of an Amarone. Got better i with more time.
The funny thing is, another bottle of this from the same case I opened last week, was superb, bright and fresh and could last several more years. Bottle variation?1 person found this helpful Comment
