    September 1, 2020 - Very good. Dark rich Pinot. Not super complex but deep and woodsy with vibrant fruit. Good now but potential to improve.

    October 12, 2019 - Tasted great but I can’t say much because we drank it out of garbage glasses. Not helpful, I know, just make sure you pour this into a pinot stem, it really is quite nice. Great depth and extraction with red Fruit and Carneros spice. No roasted notes as my last bottle had

    July 22, 2019 - Somewhat disappointing compared to earlier bottles. Somewhat sweet and disjointed, without the tension to hold together. Still enjoyable, but not nearly as good as prior experience. Hopefully bottle variation.

    July 1, 2018 - Terrific pinot. Dark cherry notes with solid backbone.

    May 5, 2017 - This bottle was still performing well. Day 1 showed dark fruits, some wooded notes, no funk at all. Pretty dense and concentrated even for Carneros standards, but no syrupy viscosity or perceptible sugar. It's a really refined, really masculine pinot. Not unlike a Paul Hobbs RRV. I'm glad to have another to enjoy, but will probably consume in the next 1-2 years. Day 2 showed some more raisin/fig notes, a bit unusual for PN. 93-94
