January 23, 2022 - Bright red cherry and berry throughout, taut and energetic, even if slightly angular right now. Lots here with sneaky power. Faint hint of sweet spice that needs to mellow, better 2024 forward.

October 3, 2021 - Great winemaker but this has too much cherry candy in the attack for me and not as much of the earthier finishing notes that I prefer in PNs. But it does remind me of the incredible variety of pinots.

July 27, 2021 - aromatic with scents of rose hips, dried cherries and forest pine, ethereal and dry, attacks with lush flavors of strawberry and cherry then moves into a dried cherry, cola, hibiscus tea and stone laced palate, distinctive, balancing acidity carries it along, this will age well, nice with mushroom gravy pork chops
