  September 3, 2015 - Unfortunately, I bought into the marketing hype of this clonal series. But I wish I hadn't. For while it may be interesting to see, from an intellectual perspective, how different the various clones taste, ultimately what I want is a good wine. The clonal series weren't cheap, but for the price of a single vineyard pinot, what I got was, essentially, an incomplete wine. sound, but incomplete. Simple notes of raspberry, black cherry, and earth. Nothing more, nothing less. Maybe if it had been blended with more clones, I might have enjoyed it more.

  September 3, 2009 - Like the 2005, the 2006 shows the same sauvage/meaty quality, along with the pine needle note.....so, I wonder if the 2007 will show the same and indicate a terroir that emerges with this bottling. Has the Greg Brewer floral lift, too. The weight of the wine, given the meaty element, is a bit heavy so drinking it cool allows the wine stiffen up some. Raspberry, blueberry, orange zest, too. Overall, drinks fine but lacks the verve I was hoping for.

  August 29, 2009 - Medium-bodied strawberry/raspberry fruit, slightly sweet, very enjoyable but lacked depth and complexity, excellent structure, ready to drink
