July 6, 2023 - Aged beautifully, this is such a great expression of Sonoma coast Pinot. Complex. Textural. Umami. So much going on here. Sad this is the last bottle I own of it.

July 17, 2021 - Nose: roses, red cherry, dark raspberry, toasted oak and clove. Palate: layers of fruit, glycerin and herbs. Red cherries, camphor, rhubarb, rosemary, strawberry and white chocolate. Hint of spice. Finish: Long finish with a lot of detail.
This is an awesome RRV pinot year after year, but the balance and layered nuance is really showing now. -

April 15, 2018 - Excellent wine. Very light and lean. From magnum, pale color. The nose is the best part - lively raspberry, some faint earth, perfume. The body doesn't hold up as much - needs cheese or other food - but has that zingy electricity one loves from the Keefer fruit.
