Enjoyed a magnum celebrating with old friends. This wine is singing right now. Raspberry, plum and cherry pie. Well balanced, lively and the perfect complement to accompany a nice meal. I wish I had more. Drinking much better than the last bottle I enjoyed two years ago. I believe this vintage will hold up for 5+ more years.

A pretty nose with a touch of dirt. Peppery on the palate, with a touch of green that works. Best of the Evening Land pinots today, an interesting take on the Occidental vineyard. 90-91
