December 23, 2017 - Very pale. Weak smell of redcurrants and cranberries. High acid, quite tart and refreshing. Some mineral tastes and a pleasant dry fruit finish. Good basic pinot noir.

July 5, 2017 - Good, not as rich as the single vineyard release. However, both were simple and straight forward lacking any complexity.

August 29, 2016 - The wine looks ruby colored and the legs are medium. It smells like cherry, blueberry and black pepper. It tastes like black pepper, fig and cherry. The body is light/medium. The wine has satin-like texture and finishes medium. The wine has low acidity and low/medium tannin.
This is a deep flavored, juicy/watery texture wine with a heavy pepper finish. If you like a medium body Pinot Noir that has a nice pepper finish, you will probably really like this wine.
