Starting to show its age and the fruit is slowly starting to fade and the secondary character is starting to emerge. A slight band aid flavor on the finish. Paired nicely with Duck Breast.

- Aromas of tea, bacon, cedar and dusty. It's balanced and has flavours of cherry, raspberry and black pepper with a medium body. Polished texture with a long finish - Decanted two hours. This wine is ready now. Still some good spicy tannins on the finish, a truly great Cali Pinot.

Quite disappointed. This pushes too far where pinots can go. This is a fruit bomb. In no way elegant. If you like pinots that are as expressive as some light zinfandels, this is your wine.

rich and fruity, with raspberry compote and strawberry preserves in abundance. You get the idea -- fruit bomb! Not my style, as i prefer more food-friendly nuanced wines, but can't complain that this is not a well-made wine and it surely will please west coast fans.

Raspberry and strawberry jam, fruit forward, a touch of black pepper and vanilla notes.
