Can still go for a while.
If drinking now, I'd decant. It needed a good bit of time to get fleshed out. Initially, the oak character was a bit forward/out of place. It was eventually enveloped in the juicy savory fruit.

2009 Knez Winery Pinot Noir Cerise Vineyard

Wow. Absolutely gorgeous. Light, pretty, elegant. Just in a fantastic spot right now.
Cherry and cranberry fruit, baking spices, a decomposed/mineral line through it. Long finish. Everything in balance.
This wine doesn't slap you in the sense. It lovingly caresses.

2014 Dirty and Rowdy Mourvèdre 'ESPECIAL' Santa Barbara Highlands Vineyard

I was really impressed by this wine. It is an incredibly delicious, fun, and interesting wine. You want to keep smelling it and drinking it because it is so good, and every sip smell/shows you something new.
The fact that this developed positively over two days, and could have gone longer, is what really wowed me.
A mixture of funk(from the variety and some from the winemaking I'd guess), carbonic character, some yeastiness, cranberry, red apple skin, and an irony minerality.
