Drinking great right now !! At peak !! Perfect cork after a decade in the bottle. Consumed over two days. Fruit burst on the first day and on day two this wine became a little flabby; more dried fruit, less fresh. Deep ruby color with little to no oxidation, clarity medium. Aromas of pomegranate and strawberry. Flavors of black cherry cola and raspberry with a hint of forest floor. This Pinot Noir has a medium to long finish. A balanced and flavorful Pinot Noir. This age worthy wine has more years of life left. My last bottle of this vintage. A great Pinot Noir at peak and a great winemaking effort.

Drinking beautifully with big fruity nose of ripe cherries, lots of rich, velvety fruit in the mouth, excellent acidity and a very long delicious finish. At peak now and likely to stay greet for another 2-3 years

Ruby color, relatively light fruit nose, the wine however has excellent up front cherry fruit and cola flavors. Good acidity and drinking really well for 11 years older. Long tasty finish.

Decanted and drank over 4 hour period. The wine really benefited from some air and opened up to show amazing fruit, aroma and long delicious finish. Ruby color with nose of raspberry, strawberry and earthiness. Wine has excellent acidity and amazing fruit for 11 year old Cali pinot. Fruit flavors of velvety cherry, raspberry and strawberry jam Mouth coating texture with a long, long finish. I would guess there is another 3-5 years left but drinking beautifully right now.

Pretty nose with aromas of tea, rose, strawberry upon opening. Medium body wine. Allowed 1 hour of decanted wine before tasting and drinking. Velvet finish, similar palate to nose, nice wine. Drink soon if it is still in your cellar to enjoy fully.
