Really great bottle! I agree with the black cherry tasting notes. I think this is in a good place. Would recommend.

Felt this was a touch better from a few years ago....still in a great place regardless. Previous note: Father's Day Dinner Wine: Similar notes as others have stated. Deep ruby color...and no signs of any bricking. Black cherry fruit. Acidity and oak are in check. I would suggest a short decant. In its primary drinking window.

Deep ruby color. Black cherry fruit and some smoky tea earthiness. Good balance of acid and oak on the end. Really good with roasted chicken & mushrooms. I've never tasted another wine from this vineyard so no reference, but just seems this wine has a good terroir to it. 9/1/2021 Fruit seemed a little muddled and more earthiness than I noted last time. Perhaps a little corked.

Aromatic notes of black tea, olive, and cherry. Has a nice balance of red cherry fruit and smokey bramble. Drinking well with fine acidity that can also age.

Ruby red color. Dark, earthy berries with an upfront, aggressive nose. Relatively smooth, very-berry, medium body palate. Far better than the standard Arista Pinot Noir. USD64. 14.2%.
