  November 24, 2018 - There’s still a lot of fruit, with spice, leather and gravel. The depth and presence are wonderful, and this has aged rather gracefully. A juicy core remains, with a long finish showing some dried cherry. This will not improve and drink up! Drink now - 2020.

  December 27, 2008 - Dark purple-red color, shows clear with light behind. Rhubarb, cranberry and plums plus oak on the very nice nose. Meduim-plus body showing a core of obviously ripe and sweet fruit, but it has good acid, and everything is in balance. Very smooth and velvet like with moderate finish and a hint of smooth ripe tannins. The wine is in a good place now, drinking well, and not in danger of going downhill any time soon. A very good moderate modern-style RRV pinot.

  May 16, 2007 - Excellent, as usual. Popped and poured but should drink well for a few more years. Still very youthful. Sour cherry/cranberry/pomegranate, forest floor/pine, and baking spice/cinnamon. Big, but not over the top.
  
  Delicious with the first Copper River King Salmon of the season.
