The label notes to drink through 2013. If you did you missed the point. I found this wine green and generic in the early years but it has developed nicely with soft tannin and decent acidity balanced with ripe dark more berry-like fruit. The depth of colour is impressive and for a Carneros Pinot Noir this is quite a nicely balanced wine. 2 bottle left.

Opened and based upon the other notes below left it open for an hour. Also draft two other pinot's rated 91 or better. The nose was great and about half of the 6 drinkers preferred it to the others. I think this wine is quite good and will continue to improve for a couple of years.

Solid, but pales compared to the other PN put forward by this label. Not terribly complex.

On its way. Don't drink too soon. It improves in the bottle otherwise too tight and lacking in flavour.
