In the glass it was lighter in color than many California Pinot Noir which is a good thing. Spicy/cherry cola nose. Nice Pinot fruit and well balanced an the palate. May be at it's peak now although I think it will age nicely for at least for the next 2-3 years. I wish I had more.

I bought a case of these from Trader Joe's a few years ago for $10 a bottle and stashed a couple in the cellar to see what would happen. I'm not sure it got better but certainly more interesting. Still had decent fruit, classic Sonoma Coast profile, but picked up some earthiness and spice. I'll wait another three years before opening the next bottle.

Still great! Worth the wait. Classic Sonoma Coast profile, secondary aromas, silky smooth finish.

Lithe with finesse, great delicate Pinot. Understated strawberry and blueberry, true and pure. 88.5
