November 25, 2019 - Very consistent with my last note. This is really lovely and drinking extremely well right now. Wish I had much more...

November 22, 2019 - Medium ruby core. Cherry and plum-forward nose, with oodles of that Pinot je ne sais quoi that is often described as bacon. Essentially dry, but with touch of sweetness on the attack. Medium-bodied, showing nothing but pure, ripe fruit. If there is any oak at all (I assume there is), I can't detect it. No discernible tannins. Really smooth and pleasant, with a medium length, the palate mirrors the nose beautifully. Very nice. I would say this is ready to go.

November 10, 2019 - Medium-dark purple color, aromas of plum and pine forest. Luscious, medium bodied fruit flavors of black cherry and black raspberry with ripe plum that slides into a subtle and pleasant dark chocolate-pomegranate-espresso finish that lingers. my only criticism is the ripe fruit could be balanced a little more with a touch more acidity to pique the flavors a little, this plays a little fruit forward, but still very delicious. Drink now.

August 11, 2016 - drinking well now, the wine has fresh floral, forest and herbal scents, velvet texture, shows spiced raspberry, exotic teas, cherries, earth and cocoa, long finish, has a refreshing quality, easy drinking, goes quickly, matched with BBQ pork pizza

June 9, 2016 - Now we are talking...Pinot! This isn't a soft, acidic puffy wine, this is a big chewy Pinot. 2012 was a warm vintage and this bottle is full of earth, dark fruit and tart plum. It has a velvety mouth feel and a long full finish. The color is quite dark, this wouldn't be instantly recognizable as a Pinot in a blind wine tasting. I should have made a better dinner, this wine deserved it!
