Still a wonderful wine-- But drink now. Strawberries, mushroom. Long finish. 2006 pinots from the Santa Barbara and upper regions are doing remarkably well now in the 1st half of 2015.

Medium red, a little brick at edge. Strawberries, leather - fragrant. Fruit attcks with big concentration of strawberry, spice, new world pinot for sure. Silky texture with still solid acidity. This has a substantial bitter element- possibly from alcohol - and I find it unpleasant.

Mahoganey. Barnyard, tabacco, strawberry jam, mature nose. Medium concentration ripe mature fruit and earthiness. Very full, silky body. Alcohol on finish adds to thick texture. Drink up.

Resolved color, aged light red; nose of spice and tangy cherry, sweet, plump, rhubarb; aged palate, thin, alcohol showing, sweet, acidic; drink up as these are probably past peak though not bad.

the flavors have moved into a delicate burgundy style with some fruit, good acidity, and earthy flavors. i would not hold this longer but it was very pleasing tonight. it is not a pinot for an every day drinker b/c it lacks the fruit and big nose that might be more of a crowd pleaser. full mouth feel, very nicely integrated tannins and balanced with acidity. definitely food friendly.
