Great easy-drinking, social wine! It seemed to be a little past its prime, but it was by no means disappointing. No decanting time but still fruit forward with strawberry and cranberry; low tannins and low acidity.

The final vintage of Larry Brooks' single-vineyard Pinot, named for owner Jim Efird's daughter. Nose is the classic Edna Valley terroir, which I wish everyone reading this note could sample: spice box, warm cedar, tobacco, sagebrush, a waft of cooked tri-tip. Plum purple, no brickage; body medium-firm, candied cherry, cooked meat again, a bit of residual sweetness. Hot for the style. Mild tannic structure, nothing astringent or powdery, a touch of velvet. Moderate malolactic and buttered toast notes on the finish.
