August 4, 2020 - Another great showing for this wine. Notes of wild cherry, plum, blackberry and pomegranate. Lots of forest floor, earth, spice, mushrooms, herbs, perfume, tea and more.
A perfect pairing with our herbal-roasted rack of lamb (garlic, sage, thyme). -

May 22, 2020 - This was an enjoyable Pinot that I chose to drink with homemade grilled burgers last night. This was one of the darker fruited pinots in recent memory. Lots of dark cherry, teriyaki, game blood, mushroom, and sou bois. It was a meaty Pinot but was well done with some tannin and plenty of, food friendly, acidity.

October 9, 2016 - A competent but bland CA Pinot that tastes neither of the coast nor anywhere else - fruit, oak, and not much more. Light violet in color, medium in body, nose of cough syrup and cedar. Tastes of sour cherry, pine needles, and vanilla, with a lingering finish that lacks much acidity. 14% alcohol. I'm not sure what the Pinot File tasted, but - to me - this seems like down-the-middle modern Pinot at its most boring: fruit, check; oak, check; uniqueness or character, not at all. At $30, fine; at $85, no way.
