  January 16, 2024 - Even better than prior review. Excellent, balanced, a nice development over the past couple of years of cellaring.

  December 30, 2023 - Opened and paired with grilled cilantro-lime chicken, roasted garlic potatoes, and mixed salad. Muted nose and muddled red and black fruit on the palate which flows into an ultra-dry finish. We enjoyed this due to its balance and freshness - it's much better with food. However, this is still tight and primary, even after 5+ hours of air, so drink 2026-2036. Technical score: 90. Enjoyment score: 92.

  September 5, 2022 - Very enjoyable. Bright red fruits, light bodied but a really nice finish. Wine has a nice balance and acidity, and was very nice on the palate.

  July 27, 2022 - Out of the bottle this is ripe and red and might be called new world Pinot blind, however after an hour it’s personality flips to an earthier, more mineral driven profile. Round and enjoyable, though obviously young with strong tannin. Not particularly complex. Kind of a jeckel and Hyde burg. This is hard to place a rating on, it could be 88-92 depending on a variety of factors, and my score reflects its potential long term.
