April 5, 2024 - Best of the 4 bottles purchased. Drank the others too early. The tart/bitterness is gone and the red fruits shined on day one. This wine needed a few years of bottle age to develop and integrate. Better on day one. Solid.

November 16, 2023 - Nice and fruit forward the first night. Lots of cherry and a little tobacco. Light to medium tannins. The second night mellowed it out and felt more balance. Much more enjoyable the second night with the first still being pretty good.

December 1, 2022 - I wanted to like this Pinot. Based on the reviews I expected to like this Pinot. But after 2 days and several food pairings, the short finish and prominent tartness (overpowers fruit) prevent me from recommending this Pinot.

flyinburrito Does not like this wine:
January 4, 2022 - Beautiful color. Nose seems off. Not corked but as if dust was in the glass. It’s the finish that is horrendous and extremely green and tannic. Tasted two different bottles with identical profiles. Unfortunate and not up to par with some of the Chardonnays I’ve had from this producer.

May 7, 2021 - Great qpr at $29. Wish I had bought more. Darker tones coming through. Love this! May be underrating.
