December 24, 2020 - Opened for about an hour, still showing ruby core with hints of bricking on the edges..black cassis and black cherry mingle with vanilla and black tea.. the palate show some signs of age with slight plum and fig notes..
April 26, 2020 - Not amazing to begin with, and now that it is over the hill it is only open for a couple hours. But still solid, light Pinot as intended.
October 22, 2018 - Another great dinner organized by Mark T and friends (Vic's Restaurant - New York City): Last wine of the eveing, a nice add after some aged wines. Slow oxed for about 30 minutes prior to drinking
Medium red color, no separation. Nose showing raspberry, floral notes, ground coffee (?), earth. Juicy palate, black raspberry and cherry. Silky texture, sweet and softened tannins. Medium weight and finish.
In a really good spot, drinking well now. Would drink over next 3 years, may fade after that
December 3, 2017 - Red fruit nose, smooth stawberry on
the palate, with some tartness on the finish.Paired well with Baked salmon dinner.
December 25, 2015 - Masterful use of oak. This is a great expression of new world Pinot noir in an old world style. Very subtle, restrained and elegant. Great Pinot.
October 20, 2015 - When I read the last few reviews I decided to open the bottle which I had received as a gift. I was pleasantly surprised to find that the wine was in a great drinking window. Fruit on the nose, the palate was strawberry and baked apple, and the finish was nice.. we did consume it over a few hours and it never started to fade. Served with oven Roasted Salmon which it accompanied perfectly.
October 19, 2015 - Disagree with recent notes. Rollin, drink up!
September 18, 2015 - Was OK to start, but faded over time.
December 27, 2014 - smooth and at an age where almost hard to tell is pinot without hints to some of my crowd that shared. Drinks a little "flat", so recommend drinking up as its time is near the end
September 12, 2014 - OK pinot, though nothing special. Well stored but started to fall apart after an hour. Quite drinkable, but no real depth. drink 'em up. Another WS offering that leaves me wondering about the hype
