December 9, 2013 - Nice cherry fruit and a hint of sour in a very Burgundian way. Quite enjoyable and a fantastic value for a high quality California Pinot. I don't expect it to gain more with age, so better to drink it up now.

September 5, 2009 - Ung med bra doft av frukt och röda bär. Vi tyckte oss finna en ton av ngt kokt i vinet, men inte alls otrevligt. Den doftsensationen försvann efter ca 1 timme, kvar då var en rejäl och kraftig fruktighet. Smaken var som doften, med bra balans mellan syra, tannin och alkohol. Kanskesaknades ett visst djup för att vinet skulle få ytterligare ngn poäng, men ändå, ett mkt bra vin som var värt sina 279 spänn.
