enjoyable, but has not improved after a few years as I had hoped... nose is nice enough, but palate and finish are a bit thin, and lacks most of the components I would want from a nice Pinot; per usual New World CA Pinot that overpromises and under-delivers

C: clear but not perfectly so, medium ruby color S: plum, acidic, black cherry, maybe sour cherry T: cherry, carmel, bright(ish) acidity, not sweet, medium light body, fading to tannin water, then nothing. "Subtle?" Tannins last longer after multiple sips. Good if innocuous. R: Buy again if cheap.

Starting to open up now but can still improve. Moderate body with tight flavors of red and dark berry fruits and mild cola with decent balance. Moderate finish.

This bottle was tasting perfectly. Well balanced, good nose and excellent finish. It was at its peak. Could have collared a couple of more years.

excellent aromatics, but still a bit disjointed on palate and finish; a few more years in the cellar should bring this together nicely
