August 28, 2016 - Excellent pinot noir. I thought these might start reaching their peak, but this seems like it has a few more years left in it.

April 12, 2015 - This wine seems to get better with age, it was very smooth with nice fruit, it is almost on the boarder on silky... Purchased on release, PNP ...it did have that funky barnyard smell which dissipated after about 15 minutes

October 9, 2014 - At this stage we are left with an earthy nose of sage and dark berry which leads way to a palate of blackberry, plum and spice that linger on a somewhat long finish. If you are holding more of these my advice is to drink up in the near term.
