Dec 31st, 2016Fantastic nose. A little riper on the palate than I expected for 2011, but still delicious.

Mar 26th, 2016Among the best CA Pinot Noirs I've tried. Tart black cherries with an undertone of black olive. Crystalline, dense fruit with a surprising lightness that reminded me of an 2007 Jerome Chezeaux Clos de Vougeot.

Dec 2nd, 2014Great balance, fine-tuned acidity, sweet tannins and wonderfully present red berries on the lingering finish.
