January 12, 2015 - Very nice. Still has time if stored properly. Big Cali style Pinot. Large amount of sediment. Big fruit. Paid $23. A steal. Buy every year. Can't go wrong.

January 17, 2013 - Last bottle....it's been a good run....for an 8 yr old Pinot still lively, same bitter red fruit, tannins still hard, fun Cali Pinot. Still has a few years left in it but drinking about as good as it will get. Looking over past reviews, pretty consistent

September 3, 2012 - Still juicy, with a zingy zesty mid palate. Yummy standard Cali Pinot.

February 25, 2012 - Smokey plum hue, dark berry/cherry nose, crisp bitter red fruit, tight and tannic. This has been open about 2 hrs and it is much better in the first 30 minutes than later...high acidity, I think this is definately looking for food...there is a 2-3 pt swing if paired well.
