Magnum. Opened it and tasted, extremely tight and bitter. Color was antique transparent at the edges. Left in glass for an hour with no change. Then double decanted and left cork off bottle for an hour. Went to dinner and the wine had transformed into deep rich color, full bodied, long finish, displayed fruit forwardness of Cali Pinot, but had depth to it as well. Drank beautifully. Don't give up on it if it first displays poorly from the bottle!

Nicely mature red and black cherry with bits of earth and sweet spice. Good weight, better length, and even better yet balance. A very elegant Sonoma Coast Pinot that is not even close to losing steam.

Time has been really good to this wine. I wasn't sure if it would improve or not, but it did. PnP. Beautiful nose of raspberry, plum, cherry, spice and vanilla. Great flavors of cherry, raspberry, spice, vanila, plum. Medium bodied with a medium silky smooth finish. At a really good place now. should be good for another 3-5 years at least. My last bottle, and the best of the group.

Time has done good to this bottle. Love the dirt on the nose, the silk on the palate and length on the finish. Pretty wine.
