Still drinking nicely but at it's shelf life. Lots of dark cherry and baked cranberries with cinnamon. Earthiness is just making its presence known. Acidity is all but used up but still delightful.

Drink this wine now. It is perfectly balanced with acidity and fruit. Bing dark cherry nose and palate. Touch of white pepper. Drinks elegantly. Bit of a short finish but all other aspects made up for it.

Dinner with Vineet: Red fruits but also good density on the nose and palate, slight black fruits; palate is medium bodied, rich, spicy, medium acidity. Very good. 88-89

Good Pinot flavor - achieves typicity - but unfocused texture, short finish, not distinctive. Wouldn't be disappointed to pay $24 for this at Safeway, but probably trying a little too hard to be premium.

Had with other PNs for thanksgiving and this was the least favorite. Negligible nose, Hi acid, good fruits and a short finish are comments that were made.

It could be the bottle we had, but no one liked this. It had a bad funk to it and did not drink well at all. In a blind taste, I would never have picked this for a PN.

Tasted at Twomey with Kathy side by side with the Russian River, the Russian River is deeper in color, more fig, earth, and plum on the nose, more of the same on the palate, young, needs cellar time, medium body and medium finish. Still my favorite most years.

Superb. Has aged quite well. Enjoyed with lamb and my beautiful girlfriend/wife of 26 yrs.

Luscious finish. Just what a Pinot should be.
