  November 19, 2023 - Similar to an earlier bottle. This seemed to have been stored wrong. Stewed fruit on the nose, palate is mostly acidic with little substance. Weird because all the wine can from the same source and two bottles have been completely off.

  July 8, 2023 - Knez winery is no longer. It' Cerese vineyards Pinot Noir vines were all purchased by Kosta Browne, and why not? It is a premium vineyard site in Anderson Valley where fog and cool nights, and sloping, difficult to farm vineyards 16 miles from the coast in hard to visit Anderson Valley has a history of producing some great Pinot Noir.
  
  This wine is spectacular with bright red cherries and raspberries, cola, vanilla, earth, wet stone, and forrest floor.
  
  Acid is very high, and tannins are medium.

  August 13, 2022 - Very good. Still dark color, developing more complexity & pleasure with age. Not near end of drinking window. Prominent notes of sour cherries. Well balanced. Now I wish I had more.

  May 7, 2022 - Consumed over 3 days (vacuvined and refrigerated), note from day 3. Two glasses consumed over 3 hours on day one found wine off, lacking fruit and astringent. Having had a similar experience with my previous bottle in late 2019, I decided to wait to write note - so from day 3. Appearance: Clear, medium ruby with just the slightest hint of edge bricking. Nose: Clean, medium intensity with fully developed aromas of dried cherry, rose petal, forest floor, cinnamon, and black olive. Palate: Dry, medium tannin, medium+ acid, medium body, 13.3% abv, medium intensity with developed flavors of dried cherry, dark earth, and spice with a medium+ finish. Overall a very good wine with great balance, very good length and complexity, and good intensity. Kind of an odd wine in that, while I believe it is at it's peak, still needs a fair amount of air to show it's goods. Drink now or over the next 2 years.
