This Pinot is rockin right now! Huge nose, tons of red fruit, and a long and complex finish. There's enough acidity present to allow it to stand up to many different foods.

OMG.... rich and flavorful. Enough acid and tannin to be interesting. A good deal of fruit, but not just fruit - complexity as well. Previous 08s had been very good. But the bottle age on this wine proved to bring it to a new level. One of the best PN and/or Burgundies I have ever drunk. Certainly one of a small handful of CA PN that I will long remember.

Reddish brown color. Nose is burnt rubber, saddle leather, and tar. Tannic in the mouth, with strong mineral notes, tar, and leather. Not my favorite wine.

Earthy, red fruit, smoky nose. Dark strawberry, silky, terrific finish. Drinking very nicely.
