March 31, 2023 - This pinot really showed last night, after a moderate amount of air it developed that barnyard funk which I find rare and really enjoy. Probably not going to improve with age, drink up!

April 22, 2021 - Revisiting this wine after 7 months. Our last notes said this wine was a little disjointed, but we are not getting that now. We still believe this easy drinking, lighter body, and not overly complex, PN will continue to improve over the next few years. The exuberant and tasty dark cherry fruit carries into the medium+ length smooth finish, along with the cedar notes and cinnamon spice.

April 12, 2021 - I was disappointed and surprised. There was nothing but acid here, no fruit nothing else. Last it’s peak?
