June 13, 2022 - Retail $65. Under DIAM10. I first tasted this back in November, as a part of the Fourth Annual Blind Tasting of American Pinot Noir. While I liked it then, I still found it a bit lacking, particularly when paired against the other 60-odd bottles I tasted. Today? It is quite dark in the glass, quite dark. In fact, it would be easy to guess "Syrah" or even "Malbec" based only on the color. The nose, however, is clearly Pinot with rich dark cherry, black raspberry, and clove. The palate has some rich fruit, but it is over-ridden by the zingy acidity and spice notes. Much better than I remember it some eight months ago.

November 26, 2021 - The Fourth Annual World’s Largest Blind Tasting of American Pinot Noir: Retail $65. Medium to light color with a bit of a dirty nose of dark cherry, earth, slate. The palate is quite fruity, on the other hand, but there is a grittiness that I find interesting. Rich and intense with some drying tannins. Where to place this?
