January 8, 2021 - Cherry and dried wildflowers in large proportions, then cranberry, oak / cedar, rhubarb and straw. Good balance of acid and sugars; not too ripe or tart, but finishes very short and probably will not last many more years.

May 26, 2019 - Clear medium-ruby color. Aromatics of black cherry, clove & smoked paprika spices, damp earth, leather and old cedar. Fig jam and cherry fruit on the palate with thick and plush layers of spices - gingerbread, cardamom seeds and black tea, along with an underlying earthiness. Harmonious ripeness, acid, texture and structure. Nice middle density and weight - both richness and elegance. Fine round tannins, lingering depth on the finish. Showing very well, early secondary stage. Excellent. Drink/hold. A real eye opener on how well this West Paso Robles microclimate and soils can do with Pinot Noir.

November 8, 2017 - Poured blind. I thought this wine showed really well. Hard cherry candy, rose petal, moderate acidity and some dusty tannin in the finish. In all, this is a more delicate, medium weighted, lighter colored wine that really surprised me as a PN from the Paso area. Terrific.
