  February 20, 2015 - this bottles best days were several years ago despite good cellaring. brownish brick color, light around the edges. has developed a funk on the nose that wouldn't dissipate with time. Flavor profile was flat. Will have to drink remaining inventory very soon or perhaps use in a sauce for body.

  June 3, 2010 - Allow to open and to come to room temp with decant. Nose and finish better than the entry and mid palate for some reason. A somewhat spicy pinot with soft cherry and bramble notes on the palate. Certainly, still feeling the oak. A bit mild at first but throttles up on the finish. A new world feel.

  May 18, 2009 - Mellow, but earthy. I thought that the flavors were sublime, and much smoother than when i first tasted this in August of 2007. Very nice.

  June 3, 2007 - Normally I do not like pinot, but the fruit, mellow oak and wonderful finish make this one of the best I have ever tasted. A winner.
