  April 2, 2021 - Ditto to GRAEMEG's note, almost verbatim. I'm really waffling on this wine, one sip I like it, the next is meh...

  August 28, 2020 - Light nose. Palate is medium full, bright with grapey fruitiness. Delightful with Mediterranean pizza tonight. Uphill from the delightful terroir that produces Kim Crawford Pinot gris and Sauvignon blanc.

  July 3, 2020 - Dark fruited, but well balanced, only 13.5% alcohol. Ripe cherry, plum and clove notes on medium bodied frame with a good finish.
  
  Has aged well, but didn't hold up well overnight when stored in half-bottle.

  June 9, 2019 - Light nose with dark fruits. This carries to a medium bodied, deliciously balanced mouthfeel of fruitiness and acidity on the palate with silkiness and fine tannins. Delightful with marinara sauce over fusilli pasta. Heavenly with dark chocolate for dessert.

  January 15, 2019 - {screwcap, 13.5%} Good garnet colour with that pinot translucency. The nose is quite developed, all malty and smoky. Palate does have a hint of mushroom (thanks, back label) along with dark black fruit, iodine, medium acid and medium/high finely gritty tannins. It's actually a bit light on for fruit, given its age, compared to the astringent qualities on the palate. Medium weight; not much mid- or back-palate, medium length finish. Palate misses the mark somehow, whereas the nose is fairly attractive, if a bit oaky. Not sure about cellaring this further either, to be honest.
