Reserve fruit makes the difference! Much softer than the 1995 which is great as well. Less acid than 95 but still has great backbone. Do not decant or air it out at all. The 95 you need to for an hour. Awesome wine and top 10 all time

I blinded this wine with 8 people and all guesses Pinot noir new world and some old as well. They were very surprised at the aroma and complexity of this. Very soft and pretty wine on its own. Super value.

My favorite example of French style in Cali. Crisp enough for light foods but balanced for anything.
