April 3, 2024 - Enjoyable, big, powerful WS Pinot. Paired well with both duck and steak. Typical VV character. Still youthful, but not clear it’s going to gain more heft or interest. Enjoy now and for perhaps another couple of years

March 25, 2024 - Upon opening, the combination of stewed and fresh red fruit, subtle cola, and gentle oak made this unmistakably ripe California Pinot. As it got some air, the whole-cluster aromas took over and made it unrecognizable.
Everything is there structurally. Plenty of acid to make it not feel too jammy and nice velvety tannins. But the stem overpowers everything else and really detracts from this being an enjoyable wine. Poor QPR, even compared to equivalent level Burgundy. -

February 16, 2024 - Going strong. Great Pinot nose and flavors, not too Californian. Good acidity still. I think this will be a little better in 2+ years.

July 30, 2023 - Beautiful and elegant. Dark crimson hue. Nose is black cherry all the way. Taste is medium bodied and delicate yet finish is long. Great wine by WS.
