  January 18, 2014 - Was a bit hesitant opening this '04 Carneros pinot thinking it was probably well past its prime. After an hour in the decanter the flavors were somewhat muted but not bad or oxidized and there was a bit of acidity on the back end. After a bit more time and air this opened up very nicely with dark fruit, prunes, a touch of smoke and more of that nice acidity, in a very Burgundian fashion. Pleasantly surprised and extremely pleased.

  July 8, 2007 - Much better as it opened after 60 minutes or so....good fruit and some earth/smoke tones. For the price, an interesting pinot.

  January 10, 2007 - Very nice value. Nice blackberry and black cherry nose, very satisfying finish. Would certainly drink this as a more frequent, reasonably priced pinot.
