We pnp’d at dinner. The wine started off musty. After an hour it started to open up to berries and spice almost similar to a petit Syrah. Finished nicely.

big and bold black raspberry fruit aromas. there is some oak tucked into all of that fruit. shows more oak than I remember last time that I tried. loads of fruit on the palate.

Real crowd pleaser in a restaurant. Deep, dark and complex. Very tasty and interesting. I sense this one might improve a little with time......will not be in a rush to drink what I have left.

bolder fruit next to the 2012 Sonoma Coast Pinot Noir. more depth, but also more complexity. palate shows a bit bigger with more fruit too. spice on the palate, perhaps just a touch of ABV showing.

This wine has fallen off from what it used to be. I had 2020 down as the last year in its drink window......should have used an earlier year.

Still the same as last year. Holding up very well. Plums, a touch of wood and spices. A nice finish which was moderate to long in length.

Not much as changed since I last tried a bottle in 2016 - fruit on the nose, plums, wood and spices on the finish which is moderate in length

Dark color with aromas of cherry and nutmeg which follow through on the palate. Nicely balanced with a good finish.

Dark red fruit on the nose, the palate is red plums, a touch of oak and some baking spices which come out on the nice smooth finish.
