Awesome bottle of wine. I used a coravin and felt the subsequent pours weren't as bright and vibrant. Great acid - medium. Nice red cherry and raspberry notes. Finish was long as well. However, since my later pours with the coravin seemed to lose something I recommend drinking it now. I don't think it can get a whole lot better.

Nice red fruit, good backbone of acidity, velvety mouthfeel, and relatively low alcohol. Tastes more like an Oregon than California Pinot to me, but others may disagree. Well worth the price.

Drank with a few other California pinots watching the cowboys/packers, this was the best of the 5. Tart cherry, leather, great mouthfeel.
