- Ruby color with a medium/full body with a medium finish - Opened New Years Day 2012. Was originally a "forgive me" present from Ali given about two years prior. Was waiting for the perfect time to open it with her. We were both amazed at how incredibly balanced it was. Full bodied, Excellent fruit and very soft and smooth on the palate. Almost no bite or burn from the alcohol. Savored to the last drop. Quite possibly the best Pinot Noir we've both ever tasted. Even better than the 2009 Kosta Brown Sonoma Coast Pinot we tried a few weeks prior for Al's birthday, which was the top wine rated last year.

- Brick color - Opened NYE 2011. Late afternoon, post volleyball, fog just rolled in, hot tub time. Great Bordeaux style blend from the Central Coast. Big and bold, Slightly jammy, dry initially, but once decanted for about 30 minutes it really opened up displaying structure and complexity. The perfect warm-up to NYE.
