Consistent with previous tasting notes, and coming into its own. There are still some unresolved tannins lurking in the background on the finish, but the overall impression is one of silky texture, rich fruit, and balanced support from spice and minerals. If you have more bottles, you'll be happy whether you open one now or hold for another 2-3 years - sadly, this was our last bottle. Really nice wine.

Delicious and fresh, but just a little disappointing. Everything is there but the verve of a single vineyard DuMol Pinot Noir. We drank it over several evenings and it remained tight and fresh.

Pop and pour. This is pure RRV pinot, with a bit less heaviness than that might imply - and it's all good. Ample fruit and spice, but staying clear of excess weight on the palate. After having a few old bottles this week that didn't quite live up to expectations, it's nice to have one that delivers exactly what you expect, and maybe even a bit more.

always tasty; strong fruit profile; tart sweet cranberry; heft that needs some time in the glass to unwind

Ripe red cherry and spice aromas and flavors with silky smooth palate and supporting acidity on the long finish. Drinking beautifully!

West of West SF, nose of rubber, blowing up an inner tube, citrus, same on the palate, nice fruit, but not for me.
