This 8 year old Single Vineyard Pinot Noir is drinking at its peak now, and will continue to drink nicely in the next few years.
Easy drinking, fruit forward and engaging. Elegant, complex and nicely balanced.
A good quality wine. Good by itself as a sipping wine or with food.
A good sipping wine that will pair nicely with food too.

This is their “Draft” - delicious, Virginia has a bunch of cideries and they’re really coming into their own. This was creamy and pure, not at all too sweet, fresh crisp acidity, and a clean finish. This had no sour or tart edges and on the lower side of carbonation - quite enjoyable — 3 years ago
My original sparkling wine love!!! 20-some-odd years ago I got a bottle sent to my table at a French restaurant by a friend of a friend (such a cool move!!) and fell in love with it. Found it again all these years later at Doc's/Spec's on Slide — 4 years ago
Suntory Premium Malt (Yellow Can) - I like this one the best although the can does not match a draft. The Premium Malt’s Kaoru Ale (Blue Can, 香るエール) is a bit sweeter and softer. I like gold, son likes blue. I can see why but am getting old and like the familiar. — 6 months ago

Beguiling wine with aromatic and structural intensity, yet airy weightlessness. 11.2%- I think they probably could have pushed this to at least 11.6 — 20 days ago
