Back on track again. See previous TNs
My last bottle, unfortunately
February 5, 2023 - Something off with this bottle. Not sure what, didn't seem to be a cork problem.

See previous TNs. Consistent. This one had a note of fruit (red cherry comes closest) that was very appealing. A top-rate wine!
October 29, 2022 - Really good! Consistent with previous bottles.
September 22, 2021 - My fourth bottle of this. What a great wine. Someone else described it as contemplative and I think they are spot on. A wonderful experience. I wish I had bought a case and not a 6-pack.
December 18, 2020 - Peak drinking. Fantastic Pinot.
December 9, 2020 - **
C: Dark red, contemplative
N: Fresh, fruity
P: Deeper and more robust than the '14 (which is not from the same vineyard). Lovely, elegant wine. Very good length and balance. Drinks very well.
2/6/22:
Yup. Subtle and elegant.
November 27, 2020 - Thanksgiving dinner, we did a blind taste test amongst immediate with three different california pinots, and the Terrien was a the consensus winner. The others were admittedly different (De Negoce from Carmel Valley, and The Hilt from Santa Barbara), but the Terrien impressed with it soft, subtle, and layered flayers. Very good now, and can certainly go another 5+ years.
November 8, 2019 - A serious PN. Complex notes of forest floor, boysenberry, & ripened mulberry. Very tight and probably close to being at its peak. Drink now
