  November 21, 2009 - Traci and I had this on Saturday night with a simple roasted chicken and roasted veggies (cauliflower, brussel sprouts, sweet potatoes).
  
  Popped and poured and drank over 2 hours. Color is pretty dark and the nose shows lots of earth, anise/black licorice, and dark fruit. The flavors on the palate are more of what's in the nose. Dark, earthy fruit, anise/black licorice, and a little spice. The wine seems a little low acid and a little bit sweet across the middle of the palate with a little bitterness to me. The wine while good didn't really appeal to me because of the "bitterness". I have one more bottle and will consume that one soon.

  December 14, 2008 - Dark red to rim, cherries, earth/mushrooms on nose, bright fruit on palate balanced nicely by acid, still some tannins apparent but not intrusive, medium body, nice finish, very good to excellent.

  July 11, 2008 - Two years have done this well. Not decanted. The dark berry/cherry fruit and 'shroomy earth are still evident and the nose as well as other subtleties such as pine, spice, and flowers. The palate seemed much more in balance with the fruit more toned down (but still bold) and in balance with the light tannins and refreshing acidity. The etoh was barely noticable

  July 7, 2008 - 15.5% alcohol. Still looking youthful, solid cherry color, clear at the rim of the glass. Dark cherry fruit on the nose, with a touch of floral, mushroom, and mineral. Showing a touch overripe on the nose. In the mouth, very ripe and concentrated, packed with rich black Pinot fruit. A touch sweet from the ripeness, but the ample acidity helps undercut that. Excellent complexity, which you get from this underrated vineyard with bottle age. Mushroom and minerals show beautifully. Medium finish that has a touch of heat. Ready to go.
