  April 11, 2021 - Had zero expectations that this would be drinkable, but after a little time, for a little while, it was very pleasant. But soon, a very off nose dominated. Happy to have an enjoyable glass out of it and reminiscence about old Chalone Wine Shareholder events

  November 16, 2020 - Dirty burgundy-like nose. Remarkably rich, not so much fruit with nice smoke and other notes in its place. Perhaps a bit of vanilla. Minimal tannins but acidity that has probably allowed its longevity. No longer a typical CA PN, but very good.

  July 23, 2010 - The bottle wasn't opened ahead of serving nor decanted. An initial whiff and green flavor quickly faded leaving the most luscious cherry aroma. Fully mature with rich coloring, this wine was around it's peak (and went well with a grilled steak).
