  April 19, 2024 - Still a big and bold Pinot, which is not our normal jam. But this is still balanced and true to the variety, even if more tannic than the norm. The black tea notes on the finish made another appearance. Good stuff but not the elegant style.

  January 1, 2022 - No. 663 of 17908 bottles produced. PNP into Atiap Titanium 200ml wine vessel (“No” day): Medium purplish ruby.
  
  Mossy notes and hints of reduction. Not exceptionally aromatic.
  
  On palate this is medium acidity, with flavors of black prunes, ripe dark red cherries. Quite a lot of tannins and spicy on the finish.
  
  91-92 points.

  September 6, 2021 - Buyer beware with this Pinot. Because of the growing climate this is a much darker and heavier Pinot than you may be used to. My rating came up a bit because this bottle started to show some complexity were the others did not. If you are paying over $30 your paying to much.

  September 5, 2021 - Drinking good, well made. Third or fourth night on. Developing nicely. Good age and would probably get better.
  *Drinking 5th night real well. Nice balance, aromatics and palette.

  September 2, 2021 - Made in a Burgundian style from a cooler climate. Noticeable oak influence. Darker fruit.
