Too young - had tasty flashes of dark fruit and blood orange, but overall disjointed. Hold for another two years at least. Probably a couple of points higher once it integrates.

This was a failed consumption. I like pinot noir with Thanksgiving. My guests claimed to have loved it, but I was getting over a head cold and experienced only acidity. My rating is based solely on guest expressions of enjoyment. I have more and will update my review on the next tasting.

It surprised us that it was not as good as other Peter Michaels. Very light in color, little thin on viscosity and seemed a little green. Lacked complexity and richness. Overall, pretty disappointing for the price point. Note that the grapes were from Fort Ross area, so may not have been able to get the BRIX they wanted?

Will let my remaining bottles sit for a year or two. Still quite tight and maybe a little brittle or tart. Opened up nicely, lovely balance, red fruit, some dryness. Quite nice but suspect it will just get better over time.

Drank alongside 2017 Caldwell pinot, fun taste test. Far more of a Sonoma coast flavor to it, light but very flavorful. More of a French Pinot feel than Cali, but delicious
