  Lots of ripe red and black cherry with slightly sweet spice followed by faint earth notes. Good+ depth and weight, with even better layers. At a very interesting and enjoyable place now. I prefer this over the 2015 vintage opened last night.

  Hoo-wee this is nice. I’m loving the just-right beam of tartness that runs through the delectable cherry and early-ripe raspberry flavors. The cherry-tartness lasts in the back of the mouth and is ... mouthwatering. So many California pinots have similar flavors (gobs) but not the substance, not the complementary tartness/acidity/structure, that this has. As for aging, this is 10 years old, yet still seems young. Bottle open for nearly 3 hours and it’s only getting better! Drinking beautifully now but no hurry.

  Everything is really nice about this wine but it channels producer (wiemakinng style) and not vineyard(terroir). Thomas can make this out of any vineyard in CA with just slight variation. So the difference between single vineyard and Sonoma coast is the step up in intensity of the wine . I like it, but I can see myself if getting bored of samething if I was drinking my RM wines faster. So for myself, the message is get couple each year bu no more .
