Some of my favorite Pinot Noir's are from AP Vin. I just received these from an auction and I must say that this particular one is so fruit forward, with berries, cherries and some fig. Lots of slight age to it where underbrush,compote, and mushrooms emerge at the mid palette. Still aromatic with berries and a musky wood barrel note.

Black cherry and pomegranate fruit, but not much else. A bit of stickiness on the finish more than tannin or acid. Got lucky with our food pairing (Spanish) and didn't need much acidity or structure to counterbalance anything.
11/28/2015 Same observation as last time, but noted a little licorice this time around.

Last of my 2009s. Had with family Christmas brunch. We all agree the Pinot's from A.P. Vin are our favorite California Pinots.
