Sunday, October 22, 2023 - Retail $60. I first tasted this nearly three years ago for the 2nd Annual Blind Tasting of American Pinot Noir. I liked it then (90 points) and I like it now. But. Then I wrote: "Darker fruit here, with some spice as is the palate, could use a dash of acid, but this is very nice." I maintain that the acid is a bit lacking here, but the fruit is more than a bit lighter with black and bright cherry along with some spice and earth on the nose. The palate is lighter than I remember, more Pinot-like, even. So while the flavor profile has shifted, albeit slightly, my assessment of the wine, overall, has not changed all that much. Excellent. 90 Points.
