September 2, 2020 - Drinking great right now !! Stored this screw top bottle upright for a decade in the cellar. Consumed over two days. Fruit burst on the first day, very lively for a mature wine. On day two this balanced wine really shined; it had softened with increased depth and integrated complexity. Medium ruby color with no oxidation, clarity medium. Aromas of pomegranate and strawberry. Flavors of black cherry cola and raspberry with a hint of forest floor. This Pinot Noir has a medium finish. A balanced and flavorful Pinot Noir. This age worthy wine has more years of life left. A great Sonoma Coast Pinot Noir fruit source and a great winemaking effort.

September 15, 2015 - Well extracted and ripe, with moderate spice. Not showing much in the way of Sonoma Coast terroir, it is very solid and a great price.
