May 15, 2021 - I found this wine to be surprisingly good- decided to open it as per CT it was noted to be past it's prime drinking years and greatly enjoyed it.

December 22, 2019 - Delightful Pinot. Not terrible complex but it is drinking very well. Smooth with fruit fading to earthy flavors. I’ll look to procure more.

November 1, 2019 - Red fruit nose very clean and new world, zero burgundy barnyard. Lovely spicy finish with currant and cherry notes. Yes I really like the finish. Paired beautifully with roasted chicken as well as a creamy butternut squash soup. Maybe just a tad too much acid but otherwise just wonderful.
