February 7, 2014 - At a perfect drinking window, with rose petals, gentle strawberry and red berry flavors, and a nice loamy earthiness as well. Drink up if you have any!

November 18, 2013 - Deep garnet color. Aromas and flavors of earth, smoke, black cherry, and oak spice. Light body, medium acid and finish. Not confusing this for Burgundy, but its heart is in the right place, and stylistically in that vein. Enjoyable weeknight pinot for lighter fare.

June 12, 2013 - Wished I had drank it with the other bottle. While still a nicely balanced wine, it has taken on a bit of bitterness (not tannic) making it seem drier than it really is.

December 1, 2012 - Subtle flavors of plum and blueberry. Some light smoke and earth, possibly a hint of vanilla. Not holding together well at 6 hours. Neither bottle of this wine impressed me.
