January 13, 2020 - PnP. Color showing some age. Amazing aged American Pinot with receding primary fruit still expressive, but with panoply of spicy and earthy secondaries lighting up the senses on the nose. New world palate with an impression of creamy fruit and medium/light structure. High delicious/intriguing factors.

May 23, 2012 - PnP. With some coaxing the nose shows reticent cherry/strawberry with asian spice and some vanilla. Palate has a really nice, almost crunchy texture, and sharp persistence with the flavors leaning towards cherry. Not elegant and a little over assertive. Seems to be in a tightened-up phase as this has the ability to age much longer and the youthful panoply noted before is not as evident.
