  Generous nose, some heat (B+/B++). Good concentration on the palate. Seems to have quite a few years left. (B++/A-)

  Nice nose of black cherry and spices, medium ruby in color. A medium to full bodied Pinot. Very similar to my last rating on this. Nice drinker, and enjoyable but noting that really stands out as spectacular.

  Blackberry, raspberry, and plum fruit with a nice core of subtle spice, licorice, and caramel notes throughout. Has a long finish to it, good wine. Last one for me...bummer.

  This wine was a real roller coaster. Had 3 bottles. Drank the first one about 2 years ago, and it was spectacular. Drank the second bottle about 1 year ago. It was not awful, but was no where near the first bottle and poor in light of the price point. This last bottle was much better......but not quite what the first bottle showed. Since, the last bottle got better, I have a hard time concluding the root cause might have been my storage. One of the mysteries of wine..........but, I am not used to this type of experience with PN.

  Much better than the last bottle I had, just four months ago. Very well made. Fruit forward California style, but some dustiness and complexity that make it special. Ready to drink now - hard to imagine it getting much better with time.
