Interesting experience. Cranberry, sour cherry and acid upon opening. After about an hour, it evolved to darker, richer berry and cherry with a nice balance of spice and earth. Still retained some acid and a touch of citrus. Nice complexity with a long finish.

Deep ruby color bordering on purple. Cherry with spice on the nose. Dark red cherry and black raspberry on the palate with cinnamon and cedar. Very nice medium body, not overly heavy or sweet like most California pinot but also not thin. Long finish. In a good spot but also seems like it has many years ahead.

Ruby color with no bricking. Not much nose. Amazing palate with a long finish. Dark raspberry, berry liqueur, tea, earth and medium acid. Minimal signs of aging. Seems like it will improve with even more age. Both enjoyable and interesting.
