We had the 2018 Vintage on 8/1-2/25. An excellent PN with scents and tastes of red cherry, vanilla, baking spice and Cinnamon. Well balanced, nice mouthfeel, almost full bodied. Tannins all smoothed out. The reward for seven years of aging.

We had the 2018 Vintage on 7/17-18/23. This is my first of the single vineyard Pinots. Black cherry, cherry cola, vanilla, black raspberry on the bouquet and palate. Very fruit forward. Given the price, I was expecting something better.
