September 17, 2021 - Drinking surprisingly well ! Wonderful aroma and flavors of blackberry and cherry, somewhat full-bodied and lush. Great balance with a trace of astringency melding nicely with the richness. I don't see this getting any better, but neither would I be in a rush if I had any remaining bottles.

January 19, 2019 - Still drinking well especially out of the magnum we had. Definitely not a lightweight Pinot but it seems as if winemaker Ed was able to tame the robust SLH AVA fruit. Bold but still packing enough acidity to pair well with smoked pork sliders tonigh.
