July 14, 2018 - Very nice wine drinking beautifully now. Floral and black fruit on the nose. Rich, full-bodied texture on the palate with chewy tannins, wet earth, spice, dark chocolate notes and a long finish. Wish I had been able to buy more!

August 5, 2016 - Notably sweet... and lots of oak spice. It's not my favorite style.

September 5, 2014 - An over exuberant fruit forward, not in a enjoyable Pinot way. This wine is bolder than time will fix and is best with Fatty Red Meat. Not for fish or foul.
