  June 17, 2023 - Tasted after a 45 minute decant.
  Pale to medium ruby in colour with initial aromas of earthy, forest floor transitioning to floral, red fruit. On the palate, medium bodied tart red fruit, sour red cherry/strawberry/perhaps cranberry, cedar, an earthy note, floral, high acidity, medium noticeable tannins with a medium finish to sour strawberry & chalky minerality. Tasted several terrific Pinots recently, this is not one of them.

  September 16, 2022 - OK but nothing special. Slightly sharp acidity which detracted from the fruit. Maybe already passed it’s best.

  September 8, 2022 - Light to med body, savoury, red or blue fruit with good concentration enjoyed a 2008 of this at the same time, and the 2008 had more weight and was even more interesting

  December 28, 2021 - Light red. New world, for sure, with expressive blue pinot noir fruit and flowers. There is weight, silky fruity and a tannic finish with lots of lingering strawberry and blueberry flavours. Acid is a little short but the tannin holds up well to a rich dinner.
