Hartford Pinots are excellent. This is the tops. Decant. Let it breathe. — 7 months ago
Dark and spicy aroma with a thick and unwinding complexity of granular tannins and stinging finish… an absolute powerhouse with layers on layers of intricacies. Tasting notes of dried rose petals, allspice and cake finish alone can’t fully describe. — 10 months ago
Yes, I am reviewing this at 10 years old - and I’m impressed with its preservation, I just think the beginning point was a little on thin side (sugar development). Definitely a nice effort at a difficult varietal to mature on the east coast. Raspberry and mulberry notes lead - not a bad effort! — a month ago
Nice notes on the nose, definitely appreciating Napa, with a little bite on the front end. Smooth and just enough juice on the back end. Might make a hood home cooking wine. . — 6 months ago
Very good pinot. Takes a minute to open up but turns out great once it airs out some — 2 months ago

v10. Lucky me, I don’t know why I still have a v10, but it is fantastic. I will take a chance and call it “ at peak”. Cork came out clean. Solid purple color. Soft, pleasing bacon nose. Bright cherry, and dark black cherry fruit medley. Smooth, slightly tart, but round, zippy, mocha finish. Nicely balanced. Would not share ! — 8 months ago
At 24 years of age this is youthful and vital with a rich ridge of stone fruit braced by range citrus acid and a lingering, slightly mineral finish. Delightful. — 2 years ago

So impressed with this $23 bottle. Drinks like $60, easily. Lovely aroma of soft caramel leads into baked apples on the mid palate. Nice ripe structure and acidity suggest this will continue as is for a few more years, but why wait? — 3 days ago
