July 27, 2023 - IPNC Weekend 2023; 7/26/2023-7/31/2023: Medium red color. Drank a glass over an hour at the CHO Wines Dinner at Joel Palmer House. There's a pungent perfume of ripe cherry, funk and wild flowers with an herbsl undertone. The palate shows ripe berries, sour cherry, funk, on a soft lighter medium bodied frame. A very pleaseant surprise. Nicely done!

September 16, 2022 - Maybe the best South African pinot noir I’ve ever had! Aromas of rose petal, red currant and wild strawberry. Interesting minerality and some sweet spice, like nutneg and clove. Reminds me of a Littorai. Complex and long.
