January 7, 2024 - Medium red with limited transparency. Ripe cherry, slight floral and vanilla nose. Palate has sweet cherry, rhubarb, and candied cranberry with a vanilla and hint of chocolate on a medium finish. This has fully integrated and developed into a well-balanced wine. Delicious now. Drink or hold.

January 22, 2023 - Medium ruby/garnet with medium intensity, developing aromas of violet, cranberry, pomegranate, cherry, nutmeg, forest floor butterscotch, and cedar. This wine has high alcohol, medium body, and tannins and acidity. This wine has medium intensity, flavors of pomegranate, cranberry, cherry, nutmeg , butter, scotch, and a medium plus finish. This is a good wine that should be drunk now until 2026.

November 1, 2021 - Crimson in color. 14.5% ABV. Stunning nose of red fruits, cloves, baking spices and forest floor. Medium to full body with exquisite acidity. Tremendous purity of fruit and perfect balance. There is an earth quality too the wine that is immensely appealing. Cherry, cranberry, cola and soil on the palate. Exceptional length on the finish. Gorgeous Pinot Noir that puts Little Hill in the conversation of the top single vineyard designates from Rochioli. About as good as it gets from the Russian River Valley. Best over the next 2-4 years.
