Continues to drink beautifully with delicious sour cherry, rhubarb, and minerality on the expressive nose and maturing palate with delicious acidity on the long finish.

I didn’t get the big, Shrader style that others did. This was burgundy style California pinot to me. Still kicking in 2023, with olive as a dominant flavor, and underlying red fruit, particularly sour cherry. Definitely tasted like a fort Ross/sea view area wine. Very good, and while the fruit is not as primary as it once was, it was still prevalent and quite tasty. Drink now, with time to spare.

This bottle assuaged any doubt that larger formats age better, as I served this Jeroboam at a gathering of former colleagues that included several discriminating wine drinkers -- and it got rave reviews. Decanted and given an hour of time to breathe, it was very fresh with fruit well balanced by its acidity. The sweet cherry and cranberry tones were prominent, but we didn't find it to be uncharacteristically bold for the varietal. Those that commented were well satisfied with where this wonderful pinot was in its development.

This one is losing steam. Hopefully my remaining bottles have more life than this one. It’s drinkable and fine but not great.
