This excellent Pinot is still drinking very well, which is why I rated it like I did, but I would drink it sooner, rather than later. I think it's at its peak or just beginning to turn the other way.

This seems to consistently be our favorite of the Buena Vista estate PN's. Loads of fruit on nose and palate, with unique spices on the palate, not over-rich, but complex and interesting. Long finish, and will age another 3-5 years.

Young, california fruit-leaning, but burgundian in style. Using these clones in their winemaking style adds feschness, red fruit and lightness to this. Very nice though not ready to drink. Wait til about 2013-14 and then drink, or you have a few years for it to develop nicely.

This was a good year for Pinot Noir, and this vintage is still drinking well.

Back to original notes, all the parts and pieces are there and in balance.
