December 29, 2020 - [Blind] Punchy but cool red berry infused with floral high notes and subtle smoke. Youthful but starting to thin out a touch. Guesses were all over including Burgundy and Rhone. Obviously new world in hindsight. Very interesting to try.

September 14, 2018 - The old wine funk took 2 hours to blow off. After that it has red fruits plums, strawberry is faint. The wine is somewhat past its prime but very enjoyable. Rich with flavors and mdium bodied drink now. This bottle was signed by winemaker. A friend gave me this bottle.

March 10, 2018 - Another Saturday at Chevalier...Mostly Blind (Chicago, IL): Tasted double blind. I thought this a very good Vosne Villages. Spicy, rich black and red cherry with good weight and very good balance. Still bright and vibrant.

November 16, 2016 - Oregon Pinot Noir (Mark's): Really nice showing for this wine. Ruby in color. This was the oldest bottle on the table but it drank quite fresh. Very distinct wine. The nose has cherries with a green herbal note (maybe tarragon). On the palate, the green note continues but turns more rosemary. Lots of cherry fruit. still some tannins. Also a bit of root beer. The green note is very interesting an enjoyable as a foil to the red fruit. Nice finish. This is going strong and seems to be in no danger. Pretty impressive.

May 30, 2016 - Profound and complex aromas of red and black fruits, vanilla, cola. Delicious, plush texture with cedar, earth, and complex berry and cherry notes. Still bursting with freshness and complexity. Full, round, generous, deft finish. ready to drink but can withstand a few more years easily.
