November 26, 2023 - Nice easy drinking pinot noir, very raj parr style. Light in style, good acidity although id like a bit more. Underripe red fruits
November 7, 2023 - Leaner style California PN showing pomegranate, cranberry with some rounder approach. Herbal notes. Good with food, and enjoyable but I can’t say I am in love with this. Good, not great.
September 12, 2023 - Popped and poured. This is fantastic. Early maturity. Florals and tea on the nose. Elegant and balanced on the palate but still showing very good persistence. Red cherry, strawberry, herbs and spice. Transparent, medium bodied and adding complexity. This is in a perfect place right now and showing great promise.
September 12, 2023 - This was bright ruby colored, medium bodied, smooth texture, harmonius and balanced, red berry fruits with dusty rose petal, cinnamon and earthy spices and herb tones, turning to fine-grained tannins, tangy acidity and grip on the long, complex and nicely balanced finish.

June 25, 2023 - Losing some fruit and “bloom.” Will secondary notes arrive ? Not sure
September 29, 2022 - Very nice pinot. Herbal, savory and mineral. Nice long aftertaste.
September 8, 2022 - Leaking and sticky. Very disappointing.
June 11, 2022 - Backlog. Strawberry dominating on the nose. Dry. Nice acidety. Fruity. Light-medium mouthfeel. Red berries, oakvdnd some earthy-notes dominating on the palate.
April 13, 2022 - Great balance. An American pinot "light" that is almost like Burgundy but still has its own style. I have always had trouble figuring out when to drink these pinots. For reference, it performed less well day 2.
February 10, 2022 - Nose of hearty cranberry followed immediately by forest floor. Dried leaves, earth, hints of potting soil, mushrooms… truly a Burgundian presence. Eventually showing minerality, chalky red fruit (not dissimilar from notes on RRV PN, aged Selyem). Paired with the Gramercy Tavern burger and brick-pressed chicken (underrated / best chicken dish in NYC, closely followed by le poulet cajun at Le Bilboquet). Chased with old monk dark rum (rhum), neat, of course. @Gramercy Tavern
