July 11, 2023 - Ruby color, smooth across the tongue. Cherry & raspberry fruit, then some mushrooms and forest floor. Bridges the gap between plusher CA Pinots and restrained Burgundies.
8/24/2023 Lots of complexity, both in fruit and secondary notes. I didn't really pick up on the restraint as much this time. Not over the top, but it's full flavored to be sure.
10/20/2023 My palate seemed more attuned to the first tasting than the second for this bottle. Plenty of raspberry fruit, a touch of blueberry, and then a nice earthy finish with bits of mushroom and Pinot funk. Really enjoyed this bottle.
12/26/2023 Ditto my 10/20 note. -

October 22, 2020 - Warm pennies in your hand, kelp, and blueberry confit But still so entirely and distinctively Pinot noir. Savory tobacco with ballpoint ink and liquid smoke.

February 7, 2019 - Tasty ripe red cherry and raspberry notes on the nose and palate with a silky texture and a hint of heat on the moderate finish.
