Community Tasting Notes 12

  January 24, 2011 - Good Pinot - unlike other notes, my bottle of this wine was not opaque at all, but was a beautiful ruby when held to the light. Aerated and then decanted for about two hours, had with chicken parmesan. The wine (and the leftover pasta) were excellent and even better the second night.

  January 7, 2011 - Drank after 2006 Kent Rasmussen PN. More obvious fruit and all around bigger wine. Good earth, glad we gave it some extra time.

  March 1, 2010 - hot at first but opened up nicely, really nice bright fruit on lingering aftertaste, big but tasty, really loved it by the end and hated to see that bottle end...

  February 28, 2010 - Pretty solid earthy pinot with lots of tart berry flavors and just a hint of cherry cola. Smooth with just a hint of velvety tannins. A bit hot on first approach... it blows off fairly quickly. High QPR!
