Last opened over ten years ago, and obviously has not lost anything. Still deep in color with cherries, raspberries, licorice, currants, spice, and some earthiness in the nose. The flavor is very much like the nose. Medium to full bodied, nice complexity, and a long finish. Delicious!

Who said that CA Pinot noirs can’t age. This one is a wonderful example of a perfectly aged Pinot. Some nice garigue on the nose, cherry and earthy. Long finish with some bracing acidity. Enjoyed this wine with grilled wild king salon.

I reviewed this 7+ years ago and at the time it was one the best PNs I had ever tried. If anything I should have graded the 2010 version even higher (95 or 96) as few if any wines I've had since then have surpassed it. The 2018 version hasn't lost much, and it remains a delicious, interesting, and incredibly complex wine. It has has perhaps given up a touch of intensity on the attack (I remember a piercingly strong beam of strawberries) and a touch of acidity. You are lucky if you still own this, but in my judgment it is just a bit past its peak.

Drinking very nicely. Rich velvety fruit. Not over the hill to my taste. Bought on release
