  Struggle to give this wine. Some points. It's a little past prime initially yet over the course of a couple of hours it has softened and become quite drinkable. Dark and brooding. Not typical for this region. Loads of pomegranate and cola. Drink them up

  I agree with my tasting note of two weeks ago !! In a great spot, this wine is tasting extremely good right now !!
  The cork was nearly perfect after a decade in the bottle. This is a balanced Pinot Noir blend that I consumed at dinner with friends. Deep ruby color with no oxidation, clarity medium. Aromas of pomegranate and carmel, flavors of sweet cranberry, cherry, rhubarb, and forest floor with a pleasant medium finish. Great fruit with firm acidity made into a very balanced Pinot Noir from the Russian River Valley appellation of Sonoma County. This Pinot Noir is an age worthy wine and has more years of life left. I still have one more bottle of this vintage remaining; I may open it soon to validate my tasting note.

  The cork was nearly perfect after a decade in the bottle. This is a balanced Pinot Noir blend that I consumed over two days. Deep ruby color with no oxidation, clarity medium. Aromas of pomegranate and carmel, flavors of sweet cranberry, cherry, rhubarb, and forest floor with a pleasant medium finish. This wine benefited from gentle oxygen since it was much more soft & integrated on day two. Great fruit with firm acidity made into a very balanced Pinot Noir from the Russian River Valley appellation of Sonoma County. This Pinot Noir is an age worthy wine and has more years of life left. I still have two more bottles of this vintage remaining; I may open another soon to validate my tasting note.
