  April 24, 2020 - Found this is my cellar as I was looking for a Pinot to pair with salmon. I was afraid this might be past it prime, but not to worry. Nice dense color with perhaps a hint of brick around the edge; hints of black fruit, a bit of earth and violets on the nose. Nice but not overpowering dark berry and cherry fruit, some nice earthiness, and a finish that started strong but died out a bit (due to age, I’d think). It reminded me why we bought this wine in the first place; it was outstanding.

  March 31, 2019 - Deep ruby color, nose of violets, a hint of smoke, and some earthiness mixed in. Dark fruit, great balance and structure, and a killer finish that lingers on. Perhaps this should have been drunk a year or two ago, but if so, I can’t imagine that it was any better. Served with broiled salmon and salad.

  April 28, 2014 - Luscious black and red fruit on the palate with tea leaves, forest floor, and lots of spice and potpourri on the nose. Palate is fruit-dominated with notes of vanilla, fresh flowers, and a slight medicinal note.
