  Still tasting great !!
  Totally saturated cork after over a decade in the bottle, easily removed. Dark burgundy in color with medium clarity. Consumed this balanced Pinot Noir over two days. Aromas of cranberry and pomegranate, with a touch Asian spice. Flavors of sweet red berries, black cherry cola, earth, and cinnamon with a medium to long mineral finish. This wine has aged beautifully and is at peak. I still have one bottle of this vintage year remaining in my cellar. Great Pinot Noir fruit of Beringer clone from Dutton Ranch's "Widdoes Vineyard" is located between the towns of Graton and Occidental in the Russian River Valley appellation. Another great winemaking effort by Sean Capiaux.

  nose - if ever a wine smelled like raspberry, this is it. some earth, and then oak.
  mouth - very upfront red berry fruit, sweet and delicious in ripeness and purity, yet of course fully dry, with big backend tannins.
  This is a fruit bomb lovers pinot, yet still sleek and varietally proper. Knowing that Capiaux is the winemaker for O'shaughnessey, i can see the similarity between this and the O'shaughnessey cabs. next bottle in 3 years.
