My last bottle of 2 cases - and every bottle has been at least very good. I have noticed that the flavors have remained the same - dark cherry, earth, spice and oak, but that the wine has taken on more body and concentration over the past year. Very big, smooth and flavorful now - and probably at, or just past, its peak.

Another really nice bottle. Dark fruits, spice and a brambly component that adds complexity and interest. Fruit forward with a medium+ body and a super smooth, velvety texture. Nice complexity and a smooth, fruity finish. Seems to be getting a bit bigger and a bit softer over time. Still drinking just fine, but it is probably not going to get any better. I have now had almost 2 cases of this wine and every bottle has been very enjoyable.

DO NOT DECANT. Evolves fast. Clasic pinot but with some interesting twists. Dirty jeweled nose steps right up to the funk line; pulsating fruit fades and returns. Finishes caustic.

Probably at it's peak. Dark ruby color. Nose of dark fruit. Palate of dried strawberry and baking spice. Medium finish and smooth tannins.
