Feb 10th, 2017This wine was good the first day but did not survive well overnight. Upon opening it had the characteristic pinot fruit with some earthy elements, but the mouthfeel was quite thin. It just fell apart sitting for a day. Drink yesterday.

Oct 1st, 2017Another attempt to find a cheap, dependable Pinot. It was… fine.

Jun 4th, 2017Maybe a year past its prime, heavy on the fruit and acidity, missing the smooth quality of a west coast pinot noir.
