Tuesday, May 8, 2012 - Vibrant, deep burgundy red, shading to mahogany at rim. Slightly candied black cherrries initially on the nose. Delicious, perfectly mature CA PN. Understated balancing acidity, some earth, excellent mid-palate, outstanding length. Minimal, but noticeable, sassafras/element. Outstanding mature New World pinot. This isn't going anywhere anytime soon, but not improving either. At at a perfect peak now. Drink up, unless you're a tertiary fiend like me :-)
