May 4, 2019 - Previously had a 2004 Solena Pinot which I found simple and lean. The 2008 is a much fuller body and more vibrant to my liking. Still drinking well.

August 30, 2014 - Grilled pork loin (chili marinade), sweet potatoes, garlic bread.
Clear alive ruby.
Nice nose, red cherry.
Dry, medium body, rich, touch of strawberry, medium length. Stood up to the meat. -

February 11, 2014 - Much better than I expected - also a lighter wine than I expected from this 2008. But Laurent's wines always agree with my palate. Good fruit, decent complexity. Might as well drink now, it seems like it has gone about as far as it's going to go, developmentally.
