Ruby color. Very jammy and fruity on the nose with strawberry, raspberry, and some vanilla. Medium- acidity and medium tannins. Good finish. Not bad, but not my type of Pinot.

could probably do with some more bottle time, but there's mild spice and vanilla around a dark cherry core, nice smooth palate with medium acidty and finish

Winery tasting. This is the top end bottling from Domaine Carneros in it's Pinot Noir line-up. Considering the difficult vintage, this is very balanced with cherry, raspberry, and spice. Bigger and richer than the standard 'Estate" bottling. This should have some longevity.

Probably waited just a bit too long but was good, not as much fruit as I remember

A mix of cherry cola, smoke, spice box, and strawberry. A great bottle that was extremely enjoyable.

Fruity, with cake spices, strawberry, and menthol on the nose. Not very tannic, ok balance. Relatively short finish.

Very complex, fruit forward and jammy with notes of berries and currents. Indicative of a sturdy and robust California pinot noir.

Notes of spice, earth, dark cherry and vanilla, palate is a little tight, with tart dark fruit and a medium length finish
