  February 21, 2021 - PnP with some slight glass air time. Hazy garnet in the glass, touch of brick. Nose comes across with tart cherries, vanilla, leather. Pretty potent and forward with north of medium weight swirling in the glass. Front leads cherry, tart and acidic. Very forward. Vanilla, some herb-y spiciness mixed in with oak and light shares of vanilla. Middle mellows out a bit surprisingly. Finish is fruit riding front on acidity and tannins. Think this would be a good food wine. Acidity is mouth puckering and the heavier structure would stand up with some interesting dishes. I have some BBQ left, this would pair nicely. Nice bottle.

  196 cases produced.
  
  Transparent light burgundy color.
  Nose perfumed, roses, red cherries.
  Palate cherries with a tartness and a mineral earthy snap. A sappiness to the fruit quality.
  
  Good typicity and balance, expressive and very drinkable.

  January 7, 2019 - Ruddy red color. Cherry, spice and leather nose. Light to medium bodied, raspberries, pepper, cherries, soft tannins, sage, and a nice dark red fruit finish. This is not a delicate pinot, but it tastes pretty good.
