Marginally interesting in its youth, far less charm now.

Delicious wine.

Absolutely stunning. Smooth, balanced, with lots of fruit. Good at pop and pour, but began to sing after one hour.

Even better now than earlier this year. Cherry, cranberry, raspberry, forest floor, earth and herbs. Great with all the food: Atlantic salmon, pumpkin swordfish and wild rice cooked in chicken broth with truffle oil. Spouse liked it better this time around.

Cherry, cranberry, raspberry, blackberry and some forest floor Perhaps a little tart in places. Best with our grilled salmon skin and with The Atlantic salmon. Likes the oily fish quality. Would have been great with our mahi-mahi of last night too. Or perhaps with roast chicken. I liked this better than my spouse did. Drink now. Great qpr for $13 / bottle (750 ml) on super sale.

Much, much better 18 months later.

Deep ruby see-through color; polished, silky mouthfeel, red fruits: Morellino cherry, tangy cranberry, deeper undercurrents of blackberry juice, damp loamy soils; good, tangy acidity; crisp, juicy, long complex finish.

Nothing special here.

This has a terrific nose of forest floor and wild berries, and the palate is silky smooth. Still, the core flavors of raspberry and blackberry come across as a bit unripe, with an acidity that builds to a level that's almost shrill. It's possible that a few more years the cellar will help out, but by then, the fruit might be faded. Nonetheless, an elegant wine, albeit one that's best tempered by food - roast chicken comes to mind.

Lots of cherry zing and not much spice in this bright and pure PN. I enjoyed it tremendously. Great food wine. In my Garagiste mystery case.

Good with traditional Thanksgiving dinner

2011 vintage

Decanted. Marginal improvement at best, based on the first bottle which I drank over a year ago. Again, I still find it diluted, and it seemed overwhelmed by chicken cordon bleu, brown rice, and green beans. Seems more expressive on its own. Notes were fairly consistent with my prior notes.

2011 vintage

Good black fruit aromas with some protruding new oak. Same good enough fruit flavors, but I found the finish slightly coarse. Good enough for near-term enjoyment, but this needs food. A less than successful Garagsite "mystery" wine from 2015.

2011 vintage

Overwhelmingly tart green apple.

2011 vintage

Dark ruby color. Some funk and musty berry aromas. Tart cherry and cranberry flavors with a lengthy, slightly bitter finish. Definitely better with food.

Delicious sweet pinot, but not hugely complex

2011 vintage

Nose: strawberry (dried), mint, with more air gets a hint of funky barnyard, which was more noted after it had been open a bit Taste: strawberry, tart, mint and bay leaf, nice acidity. Enjoyable.

2011 vintage

Quite honestly, the first of three bottles was slightly disappointing and underwhelming; especially given its $27+ price tag, and Ritternan hype. Lighter Burgundian style, tasty, tart, and spicy, red fruit; weak green herbal tea; and bright, racy acidity. Unfortunately, it falls apart mid-palate as the fresh fruit and the texture comes across as somewhat hollow, slightly diluted and a bit thin. Very nice, long finish. Totally overwhelmed by pesto salmon and pasta. Although the vintage was a bit of a …

Corked.
