Bought this wine in 2009 - this is the first bottle from that purchase. Decanted for about 40 minutes. Lots of dark fruit and a long finish for a pinot. The color was almost opaque, nothing like some of my Oregon or Washington pinots. Will drink the remaining bottles over the next few months - I've waited long enough...

Opened with no decant for 3 hours A bit disjointed overall but gave way to toasted marshmallow and lovely funky nose and an abundance of fruit with the atypical California pinot characteristics.

This is a very nice wine from a stellar year. 2007 was excellent for Cali Pinot's. The nose was funky bleeding towards fruit and there was no mistaking this as a pinot from california. toasted marshmallows and lovely violets. This wine was very nice.

Still very good, but I don't think it's at peak any longer. Time to drink and free up some room in the cellar.
