  June 1, 2015 - Fading garnet red. Vibrant nose of sweet red cherry, asian spice, currants, and alcohol (it does come in at 14.6%). There is an initial burst of sweet spice on the palate, evolving into notes of cherry, earth, and more savory spice. Big bodied pinot, there is still acidity in the mid-palate that cuts across the heft. Medium plus finish with enough lingering acid to keep it fresh. Tannins are integrated, but more prevalent on the finish. Still very good.

  January 16, 2015 - Dark red color. Cherry nose with a hint of spice. On the palate it is richer than expected, blossoming with cherry, black cherry and spice. There is a slight alcoholic note on the medium plus finish. Quite enjoyable.

  September 17, 2014 - A bit hot at this stage in its development though it settled down with air. Perhaps not the best day to open a red (105F)

  January 30, 2013 - Similar notes as the last few. Nice color, not too light but not too dark (looks like a Pinot). Bright red fruit, but the finish was a bit sharp. Gained a bit of depth and richness with some air. Good but not great.
