January 11, 2024 - This was a really nice domestic Pinot. I decanted for an hour. The nose was red fruit with more red fruit on the palate. Reminded me a little bit of a classic KB Sonoma. The wine improved as the night progressed, so I’d say you can easily enjoy this wine over the next few years and maybe longer. It’s a good effort for the price.

December 1, 2023 - Bright red color fading to translucence at the edges. Aromas of bright cranberry and strawberry. Bright and spicy on the palate, cherries, ripe strawberries. Fine tannins, light acidity, finely balanced. Finishes moderately long with bright red fruits. Not complex at all, but very pleasant. I don't think this will make old bones. Drink over the next 4 years.

May 13, 2022 - Rich aromas of dark cherries, strawberries, herbs, red plums and forest floor. Lovely expressive ripe red fruit done in a mostly CA style, this has a suave texture, is nicely supple and delivers layers of flavor in waves. There's decent acidity that keep things in balance but it's the fruit that is the star. Very enjoyable.

February 8, 2022 - Nose is enveloping alcohol whiff with pyramizines and plum
Round ripe alcoholic cherries with baking spice and pie crust notes… very long finish with cherry tannin alcohol notes…
Hmmm interesting Pinot in a bold fashion statement.: parts intrigue me..: parts are off putting …. Let me ponder
Day 2….better…more integrated…very big Pinot,…really tasty and good..sooo big…alcohol tamed..fruit more..upgrade to 93
But it’s no mistaking it for anything other than big extracted Cali Pinot… not burgundian..93 for the Cali style..
