10 years in. Still full of fruit. Age has rounded it out a bit. Wish I had more than what’s left in cellar (2 bottles).

Silly smooth Pinot with nice depth and complexity.

Jan 14th, 2017Was a 9.2 yesterday, but after sitting overnight it definitely improved. The wood seems more integrated and the whole thing is more vibrant. Nice balance of fruit and earth. I'll hang on to my other bottle of this for awhile.

Mar 19th, 2016Really interesting pinot. Nose of spicy cherry pie that's just a bit warm, with root vegetable accents. Palate is super-complex with mouth-coating somewhat grainy tannins. The oak was too pronounced on opening but has softened with time.

Mar 12th, 2016Beautiful pinot noir. So well-balanced with a velvety texture. My favorite of the 2013 Alma Rosa pinots.

Dec 19th, 2015This was a bit medicinal on opening but evolved a bit over time and showed the cherry pie with spicy accents I've come to know from alma rosa. Good.
