Tasted next to the Auteur Sonoma Stage (2006). This wine was better, much more expressive in general. Again, I get cherry on the nose, with a bit of smoke. Nicely balanced in the mouth. Bigger than the Auteur.

Popped and poured. Didn't get a lot out of it. "Bigger" style of Pinot was coming through. Next time I'll decant.

Really enjoyed this bottle. Smoky, and cherry on the nose. More of a raspberry taste though. Great balance. Long finish.

This is great stuff, pricy, but consistently a superior Pinot

Great balance of fruit, earth and acidity. Comparable to other top-notch $55 bottles. If the price goes up it will be overpriced.

Smoky chocolate aromas. Complex fruit and a great finish.
