  Drink. I expect this wine to only worsen from here. Drank alongside the 09’ block 23, and this has held up extremely well in comparison. There are some subtle hints though that this may start to decline in the near future. The fruit is still very bright, and the wine is well balanced.

  Subsequent notes on this wine from three years ago. Dark, deep violet in color with slight clearing at the edges. There was a slight note of volatility upon opening which quickly dissipated with airing & developed into a full, forward & attractive nose of ripe fruit aromas of dark cherries, blueberries & mulberries with overtones of floral notes of violets & spice notes of allspice, earthy/dusty, sandalwood, herbs, minerals, cocoa, cherry cola & a slight hint of oak/vanilla. Medium-full bodied with a very good concentration of well balanced & smooth textured, lush & rich, ripe fruit flavors of dark cherries, blackberries & plums with spices, herbs, cocoa, some cherry cola notes, minerals & a slight hint of oak/vanilla. Lingering smooth finish. Drinks quite well at 13 years of age & is at or close to its peak of development. However, it should hold onto its current plateau of development for several more years if cellared properly but any further development is not likely.

  Mocha and coffee notes, dark red berries, warm baking spices. Rich but with nice acidity to balance. Six hour decant but I doubt it needs it. At peak and a standout for the vintage.

  Delicious Pinot - still great. Loved it. Red fruit notes. Shea wines are amazing but I was worried we had a bottle that was past it’s prime. It probably was but this one didn’t disappoint.
