April 15, 2023 - Dark cherry flavors - definitely, with a bold body, mild acidity, lasting finish. I am surprised at the low score. This is almost equal to Domaine Carneros Famous Gate pinot. Just consumed this bottle and it was still going with both flavor and aromas. However, it is drinking great now!

February 15, 2014 - Not as good as the 2007s I've had last year. The 2008 was missing something: the ominous taste of a good P-N that separates it from all other varietals.
