September 15, 2023 - Falls rather short of Burgundian and therefore, given the price, I'm not a fan.

May 4, 2023 - Really really enjoyed this one. Substantial mouth feel and the nose showed more evolution than typical west coast and while not quite Burgundian (acidity was lower) it trended into that direction. Will look for more.

December 20, 2022 - Drinking beautifully. All I enjoy about PN was there. Nothing out of balance. Fruit and non-fruit characteristics, hints of some tertiaries, and good acidity, all in harmony, with nothing sticking out - no obtrusive oak, no alcohol in the way. Very elegant. Should drink well for at least a few more yrs. I wish I had more.

January 19, 2022 - Light, elegant, bright, refreshing. Mostly red fruited Pinot, dusty cherries, dry forest floor. Low alcohol (by CA standards), no obtrusive oak, so the purity of the fruit comes through aided by good acidity.

December 13, 2021 - Delicious. Complex, funky (in the best pinot way), with maybe a hint of cola. Wish I had more.
