  Maybe nearing the end of life. Perfect cork after a decade in the bottle. Consumed over two days. This wine showed more fruit on the first day, on day two this wine displayed more dried fruit flavors. Deep ruby color with little to no oxidation, clarity medium. Aromas of pomegranate and cranberry. Flavors of black cherry, raspberry, and forest floor. This Pinot Noir has a medium finish. A flavorful balanced Pinot Noir. Drink up, it may not get any better.

  Wine is still ripe with fruit flavor a of cherry and dark berry. Starting to pickup secondary flavors of earth and mushroom. Acid still intact. Wonderful food beverage or stand alone pinot
  
  Last bottle!

  A lot of variation between the three bottles I purchased. This had nice cherry, raspberry flavors and a medium finish. 90 pts. Others were 89 and 93.

  Beautiful Pinot color, clear and deep red. Nose of ripe cherries, hint of earth, plums. Opened nicely in the glass following through with cherries, red fruits, mushrooms and just a touch of herbs. Aged nicely and wish I had more!

  14.3% abv. Darkly colored; opaque. I slightly preferred the 2008 Sonoma Coast Pinot Noir over this Russian River Valley bottling but wasn't enamored with either wine. Once again the alcohol percentage was over 14% and the wine showed extraction. As with the bottling from Sonoma Coast, I liked this better on the second or third day after it was opened. I get raspberry as perhaps the preeminent fruit flavor.
