April 12, 2024 - Very tasty. Dark in colour. Nose is sweet and ripe, showing a little maturity but mainly red and black cherry fruit. More of thr same on the palate, soft tannins, still juicy acidity and more red and black cherry fruit. Really pure, vibrant pinot. Nicely balanced. Drinking well.

March 17, 2024 - Good flavor right at opening, more like a Russian River profile. Very good at initial sip but fades quickly and felt thin in flavor. The intensity waned and did not persist, but the initial attack was quite good. Felt this on side of tongue mostly on the middle. Good bouquet. Not as deep colored as in previous vintages. Lot of energy here, and medium acidity. Tart, but not quite cherry. Different in style than in previous vintages, not as extracted, and more finesse as a result. Good, ready now, and might see 5 more years of age. Vacuum sealed now to have in one week. Was Ok then but as I recall but seemed best the first day.

March 14, 2024 - A lovely gift from a friend. Quite rich - especially for Sonoma Coast. Notes of dark berries, pomegranate, green plum and some red apple were found on the nose and palate. Maybe the 2017 vintage promoted that richer spectrum of flavors? A little bit of alcohol on the finish along with that green plum and red apple. The wine should make it to 2027 and beyond.

October 10, 2023 - Not use to the CA Pinot living in OR but this one was very earthy with brown spices and dark red fruits. Could see it paired with a number of dishes.
