October 4, 2008 - My notes are sloppy, but I recall it being unbalanced, disjointed, and having harsh tannins that were not integrated at all for a pinot. Will not drink again.

November 14, 2007 - Red fruit aromatics with lavender notes that lead into rose petal, jasmine, pine and guava aromas. On the palate it has a medium full body with spicy cherry, allspice and French oak in the back. The finish is silky and lush as is expected with Pinot Noir.
