June 27, 2023 - Beautiful aged pinot nose, soft red fruit and earthiness on the palate, finishes with just a hint of iron that suggests it's nearing the end of its ideal drinking window. Very nice.

August 20, 2022 - This was excellent; perhaps not quite as outstanding as a few earlier bottles, but certainly a return to form after the last one, which was flawed.

March 30, 2022 - Served blind in a tasting of 13 pinots from around the world, the vast majority of which ended up being from OR. This was my wine. I thought it was excellent, and it was my WOTN amid very stiff competition. I thought this showed a remarkable balance between old character and new, with notes of leather and tobacco but also fresh black cherry. Really well balanced, and definitely right in the perfect drinking zone.
