Drank at State Bird Provisions in San Francisco. Popped and poured and consumed over 2.5 hours. First third of the bottle was sweet, with raspberry and black currant. Next 50 minutes the wine became much more tart and didn't pair well with the food. Over the last hour this bottle really came together perfectly. The tartness subsided and we really enjoyed it. Nice find at K&L for $50 at the last minute.

In one word, wow. Silky tanins, dark cherries, and a california pinot that is absolutely not a fruit bomb. Elegance and feminine are two words that come to mind, with precision of flavor.

4BOW (Jeff's House): Garnet color. Spicy cherry nose. Tastes of black cherry, charred earth and so much cola I might as well be drinking a Coca-cola. Green finish that again is dominated by cola. This wine epitomizes everything I hate about California Pinot Noir. 13.6% alcohol.
