  September 12, 2023 - This wine has really improved over last two years. Smooth and elegant, with classic OR pinot flavors.

  November 5, 2022 - Opened, poured half into a decanter; saved half in a 375ml bottle.
  Ruby color.
  Nose offers soem forestfloor and light strawberry notes.
  Good red fruit berry on the intro; light and fresh strawberry notes. Some spice on the mid-palate.
  Quite enjoyable.
  
  The half bottle, tasted the following day, lacked the freshness of the wine that was present on day one. Took on a slightly bitter element.
  
  My score is for the wine when opened.
  
  Diam 10 cork.

  October 2, 2022 - Day 1: This is showing well and wish I bought more at the $25 a bottle I paid. Truffles, soy, wood, spice, violets, raspberries and minerals. Complex and medium plus finish. 92 points
  Day 2: Second wine in a row with some nice improvement from day 1. Vibrant showing soy, spice, saddle wood, mild funk, truffles and minerals. Super complex wine and well behind the price point of purchase. 94 points

  September 8, 2022 - Consistent with a bottle last year. Good dark red fruit. Smooth and with some interest. Easy drinking. ***

  May 21, 2022 - Sometimes you just want a nice glass of Pinot. This satisfied the desire.
  
  Pop and poured into a decanter. Saved 1/2 in a 375ml bottle under Vacuvin.
  Ruby-purple color.
  Nose offers spice notes, dark and sour cherries, floral notes, and a slight hint of wood smoke.
  Good round fruit intro, with that mix of dark and sour cherry. Slight touch of sweetness, but far from overripe.
  On day two, it shows a darker, concentrated fruit profile with some blackberry notes and plum. On both days, it retains freshness from the acidity. No sign of heavy oak use. Tannins nicely integrated.
  Enjoyable.
  
  Diam 10 cork with vintage on end cap; no branding.
  12.8% abv.
