April 5, 2019 - wonderful mid weight pinot noir ready to go. Spectacular now with lovely fruit forward and just the right grip to follow.

August 7, 2016 - You've got to enjoy "BIG" to appreciate this dark fruited cracked pepper sipper. Still plenty of cellar time for those with patience.

April 26, 2016 - On the pop & pour, initial nose of tart strawberry, black raspberry, dough, and cinnamon. Palate starts out with pungent black cherry and herbs. The pungency settles down and the greenish herbal element subsides after just a few minutes. The dough on the nose fades quickly also. All in all, a nice bottle but nothing spectacular. Will revise tomorrow if it opens up like so many notes mention here.
