March 21, 2024 - Not great the first day, better on the second day and best on the third day…had a little left over. Definitely feel like this wine will improve a lot with some age and will decant it going forward.

Found this a bit light, sweet and simple. Quite nice. -

February 8, 2024 - Favoring the red fruit side of the spectrum, this medium ruby Pinot oozes raspberries, strawberries and Montmorency cherries that are flanked with baking spices, cocoa and sage. Medium-ruby in color, fresh, softly oaked, seamlessly alcoholic (13.7%) and with silky tannins, it has good mid-palate density and a lengthy finish. There is a lot of bang for the buck here! Popped and poured, it was immediately expressive, not requiring extended aeration. Drink now-2028.
