July 14, 2021 - As before, maybe slightly less pop on the red fruit crunch than 2 years ago, maybe a little better integration and cohesion throughout... this is in a great spot. YUM.

August 30, 2019 - Such a brilliant red color, very transparent, very aromatic, burnt orange, cherry and mossy scents, light and airy, yet intense and seamless, shows bright red fruit, tea leaves and stones, very lightly nuanced, so well made, perfect acidity, this was an amazing match with spinach artichoke dip and pita bread

March 10, 2019 - Crunchy red fruit, slightly complex middle with baking spice and slight tobacco flavors, high acidity towards the finish... yum

February 23, 2019 - Clear ruby color. Complex primary/secondary aromas of dried fig & raspberry, tea leaf, hibiscus, Fall foliage, dried thyme. Succulent on the palate, with a broad range of red fruit and secondary layers of earthen spice and flowers. Elegant density with impactful flavors, bright acidity and fine fleshy tannins, finishing clean and dry with moderate length. Terrific flavor development, a little tightly wound on the back end. Does anything say Santa Maria Valley Pinot Noir like Au Bon Climat? Drink/hold.

December 19, 2018 - Coravin first pour.
Lovely, nose is complex, red fruit with earthy which I like.
Palate also good with long length but simple length.
