toast, yeast, crisp acid, would be great w/food, dry

Far as Pinot Grigio goes, not half bad, nose better than palate, needs some acid

Viognier makes it more aromatic w/o being waxy, nice

Good but missing complexities of single vineyard bottlings

Huge step up from Failla, but different style, more oak, big butter, less restrained than other recent Kistlers I've had (single vnd)

Less oak than Kistler, but a little more elegant and complex

Good fruit, nice spice, solid wine

Tart cherry, elegant, silky smooth

Less dense and structured than previous vintages (like '06), and pales in comparison to estate Pisoni (which we drank last night), still good, just a little thin

Modern red ripe fruit, not recognizable as CDP really, spice

Drinking superbly tonight, very modern, very aromatic, red fruit central, not as good as HM or MV but amazing stuff to drink tonight

Modern fruit, fairly tannic, O'Shaugnessey ran circles around this

Big, tannic, red fruit driven Bordeauxesque, beautiful but desperately needs some cellar time

Cinnamon & nutmeg
