December 12, 2020 - Still delicious. Nicely balanced and well integrated. The fruit is still the centerpiece, but nice acidity remains.
November 16, 2012 - Still drinking very well.
July 18, 2011 - stood the test of time very well. nice rose pedal and cherry nose, appealing mouth feel and soft finish. went well with the dry rub ribs. not getting any better. a great time to drink em if you fot em.
September 11, 2010 - Took awhile to open up; used Vinturi. Fine, but reasonably undistinguished.
February 24, 2010 - Not that strong of a pinot. flat finish that has some length but no real high points
January 29, 2009 - Floral bouquet. Taste cherries on the palate. Smell is fruity raspberries.
November 9, 2008 - Inviting, complex nose of baking spices and fruit. Palate is multi-faceted with layers of fruit. While great now, I would hold this for at least another year for it to evolve. I think it will continue to improve and integrate.
May 18, 2008 - Decanted for one hour after taking it out of the cellar.
September 13, 2007 - Very nice, smooth, full of fruit, great nose
May 17, 2007 - Hard to rate, seemed like it was changing constantly, leave it in the glass for 1/2 hour and the nose is gone, beautiful at first with lots of spice and bit of underbrush. In the mouth the fruit seemed a bit thin, hollow mid-pallate but a nice spciy finish. I think this needs more time in the bottle to consolidate.
