Thursday, September 18, 2008 - My feelings about this wine are largely in synch with the earlier notes of LKWG, including drinking window, give or take. Opens up with a bit of earth on the nose, which blows off leaving aromatic dark pinot fruit. Palate is medium-bodied, fruit forward / cherry pie presence with a longish finish. Could be a bit more complex, but perhaps that will come with some time in the bottle. However, doesn't have the same resinous quality offsetting the fruit as some of the bigger ones from California. Surprisingly, this was a few points better 3 days later (90 pts).
