September 29, 2021 - dark red, dark cherry nose, mostly earthy cherry fruit, good amount of acidity, fruit fades after a couple of hours. well past its prime but still enjoyable with grilled salmon. Drink up.

November 23, 2019 - Blind Pinots (Prairie Grass Cafe): Blind. Candied and volatile nail polish nose. The palate is syrupy and sweet. Freshness is long gone.

May 12, 2019 - initially very alcoholic, lighter-bodied than expected, and acidity was higher than expected. Tasted like hawthorn on the palate. Disappointing.
