    June 25, 2023 - Medium dark ruby. Savory, earth, with decent acidity. We did not notice the problems mentioned in the February note below. On the other hand, there was a little that was especially distinctive
    or welcoming about this wine. Decent enough over three nights.

    February 24, 2023 - This is a "why do people like it??" wine. Pours to a strong smell of sulphites (read rotten eggs). Notes of strawberries, tobacco, and putrid smell. Leaves a strong saline,spicy, and medium+ acidity laced aftertaste. Really surprised at this Pinot Noir. WE 94 pts seems like a sell out for such a run in the mill wine. Not recommended.

    Repeat purchase? Def no.

    August 29, 2022 - Nose of strawberries, earthiness, and a bit of baking spice. Palate cobtinues with that same, and a bit of mushroom funk. Super nice wine for the $
