  Cool. Cherry, tobacco leaf, mild barnyard notes, light touch of balsamic. Remains impressively intact and smooth.

  Bought from a local wine shop in 2015. I am not a great pinot lover but this was an excellent example of west coast (I almost wrote California) pinot noir. When I first decanted it, I sighed because I got that pinot funk aroma that I do not like, which has been described by others as everything from sulphur to coca cola. However, within 15-30 minutes in the decanter, it was gone and the wine started to take on weight. Moderate red fruit and balancing acidity. Very smooth, almost elegant. Not a wine to drink with grilled porterhouse, but a very good accompaniment to a pork roast or roast chicken.
  
  My guess is that it needs another 4 years to reach its peak. We are too quick to drink West coast pinot and then we complain that it is not as good as a GC Burg. Patience is rewarded in this case.
