July 28, 2023 - Retail $65. This was part of the Fourth Annual World's Largest Blind Tasting of American Pinot Noir back in 2021. And I liked it. Today? Almost two years later? Yeah, I am digging it. Quite dark in the glass, opaque, and more black than red--really dark for a Pinot. The nose, as one might guess from the color, is also dark with mostly blackberry and dark cherry coming through. The meaty aspect that I noticed originally is still there, just not as prevalent, and there is also an herbal note, that is enticing. The palate is certainly fruity, but also nicely balanced between the fruit, tartness, and spicy/herbal aspect. Yes, I liked it then, but it is more now, maybe much more.

November 26, 2021 - The Fourth Annual World’s Largest Blind Tasting of American Pinot Noir: Retail $65. Meaty and salty with not much fruit to speak of on the nose. On the palate, this is quite nice, perfectly fine and perhaps even lovely. If this were opened on a given night? I would stay to the end of the bottle.
