  September 9, 2023 - Coming near the end of my case— and just in time. Still awesome but also starting to cast a bunch of sediment.

  June 18, 2023 - This is a nice Oregon Pinot at peak. A touch of acetic acid but just enough to balance nicely against the asian spice, cinnamon, and red fruit. Surprisingly, a touch thin on the mid-palate but long in the finish-- but that's nitpicking. Seriously, no one would notice as this would be the killer wine with a grilled PacNW salmon. Short answer: if you live in the PacNW, buy some local or Alaskan salmon now, grill it and serve this alongside. This wine MAY improve with a year but the gains are so marginal than it isn't worth the risk. Instead, serve now while it's near its zenith with some yummy, fatty, seasonal salmon!

  June 18, 2022 - Nice juice that's drinking great right now! Big O-noir fruit upfront with lots of interesting earthy savory dark fruit flavors. Good balance, lift and length. Great Garagiste "mystery" wine.
