April 12, 2024 - Outstanding wine. Mild reduction upfront but impeccable balance on the palette. With air comes complexity. Restrained. Beautiful wine.

January 5, 2024 - PnP and it was delicious. Great balance of acidity, body, structure and power for a Pinot. Fine tannins. Some darker brooding fruit but not too heavy or intense. Stood up to some stronger flavored food pairing but was not too dominant with other accompanying dishes.

March 6, 2022 - Drinking beautifully but going to get better. Superbly integrated but with lots of potential for evolution into secondary and tertiary flavors. Strikes an interesting profile between Willamette and Bourgogne - more austere than (most) Willamette and seductively richer than (most) Burgundy. A great testament to Thomas and the LF wine making team. As indicated, drinking well now but patience will be rewarded!
