July 4, 2023 - This bangs. Strong core of fruit and m+/h acid are pretty dominant, but there's complexity and length here that will develop nicely. strong recommend holding for ~5 years at least, but it also tastes great now.

August 16, 2022 - American wines at Park90: Rather sweet and jammy nose but on the palate it was more restrained. Some earth and savoury notes, dark red fruit that felt like it needed more time in the cellar to fully express itself. Good acidity.

August 12, 2022 - From 375ml bottle, great, typical ruby Pinot color. Nose is spicy, floral and fruity, mostly the red variety. Palate has a mineral undertone along with strawberry, cherry and raspberry. There is a good bit of baking spice and nice bright acidity. Easily enjoyed with a wide range of foods or alone, still in its infancy however. Lots to look forward to in the future.

May 19, 2022 - beautiful, with slightly muted red fruit, great acidity for lift / aging, and a tiny hint of pine tar... yummy and shows a ton of promise with aging... 92 for now at this infantile stage but 93-95 pt potential

May 16, 2022 - wow this was great... and a nose with some fruit but a lot of funk (nice funk)... and on the palate it had great acidity, great depth (fruit slightly hiding and minerals / other in the front)... just feels like it will be a elegant bombshell in ten years, but enjoyable now as well
