Surprising wine - drank in 2013 and had a silky character with typical Pinot fruit. Not harsh at all, and not issues with sediment. Cork was damaged but seal had held.

Red berries & oak. Almost a bit of rubber tire on the end of the nose & orange peel. A nice bit of acidity. Complexity is understated with mouth coating tannins. The finish lingers & the fruit forward was is welcome. The minerality shows up after an hr in the glass but definitely a Cali Pinot & not terroir driven like so many French burgundies. Very nice.

Nose of plum and red raspberry. Exceptional velvety mouth feel. Paired w/ pizza smoked on grill w artichokes and blk olives. Super delight
