Insanely good. No where near past its prime. This had all of the classic pinot characteristics but not over done or monotonous like other CA Pinot's tend to be (at least for me). Tannins were well resolved but the classic cola flavors still remained. The last glass had a little root beer float flavors that was creamy and delicious.

(Kanzler Vineyards Pinot Noir Sonoma Coast) Medium dark cherry red color with pale meniscus; tight, stemmy, earthy nose; stems and green on palate too, with concentration and tart red fruit, could resolve and get a lot better with time, but in an awkward phase at the moment; medium finish 88+ pts. (20% whole cluster; clones 667, 115 and Pommard)
(Kanzler Vineyards Pinot Noir Sonoma Coast) Barrel sample - Medium cherry red color; primary red fruit with a sense of horseradish on nose; plush, ripe cherry, black cherry and berry palate; medium-plus finish 92-94 pts.

Beautiful layered nose of red and black fruit with a touch of flowers and spices. Still drinking fantastically. Jan/19 update: still a beautiful wine!
