I still have a dozen of these and figured I better start drinking up. This is remarkably fresh, however, with lithe acidity and bright cherry fruit. Baking spice on the nose and tart cherry and cranberry flavors linger on the medium-plus finish. Really nice for the price.

A nose of graphite and black cherry is accompanied by a very smooth but fresh palate. It certainly hews to the CA Pinot paradigm but stays well within my boundaries for overripeness. Very fine wine.

Past its prime. Though drinkable as a very soft uninteresting wine.

A crowd favorite at a party. Red and black fruits with fresh flowers and spice on the nose and red fruits and spice on the palate. Good stuff.

A nice restrained style Cali pinot. Seems to be drinking at its peak as it exhibits no rough edges. Last bottle unfortunately.
