Shows the roundness and ripeness of the vintage. Yellow apple, lemon pith, fuzzy peach, candied apricot and a touch of honey leads to a gentle palette and consumption. Still has good acidity to provide tension in the mouth. — 9 months ago

Tough vintage. Has turned toward a Bordeaux profile in its aging with cassis, leather and mint. Tannins have really evaporated. Mildly pleasing — a year ago
Quality entry level German Pinot Noir. The fruit is dark and rich (currants, cherries) but not forward or dominant. Medium level and present acidity. Layered with black licorice and aging orange peel. A small touch of moist earth, bark and smoked spices. Would be interesting as a BTG selection — 19 days ago
Magnum purchased at the winery. Rested 9 weeks at home. Stunning balance for an ultra hot vintage. While showcased by the crystalline quartzite (sea stone personality in an area of thin slate) the wine is still driven by the pure harmony of tartaric acid, European delicacy of yellow apple, pear, quince, hay flavors and the light kiss of Czechian oak. In pure harmony - nothing aggressive. Sophisticated yet anyone would recognize its brilliance — 10 months ago

California AVA. Easy drinker with dark fruit but not much depth. — 2 months ago
A seductive vintage leaning on black flavors of cassis, plums, graphite and olives layered on a velvety rug of fine tannin. Outstanding! — 6 months ago
Quite elegant with ripe peach, strawberry and citrus fruits. A tad hint of spice. Recommend. Disgorged March 2021 — a year ago
