I get a titch of non-offensive gasoline on the nose, and somehow this is nearly effervescent on the fore palate. Tons of fruit left here ... this should keep coasting along for a long time. Really quite spectacular at this stage.

This Sanchietti pinot was quite nice, but seemed to be fading a bit past what may have been its peak. We regularly drive by one of the newer Sanchietti vineyards that was planted just a few years ago in a relatively high traffic location, and look forward to what it may produce in the years ahead.

Verrrrrrrrrrrrrry smooth! There's red and dark red cherry and cola on the nose and palate. Beautiful integration of tannins and acidity. We had it with grilled shrimp and beef tenderloin and it accented both flawlessly. Enjoyable!!

i loved this PN. it was bigger and fruitier (almost chewy) than i was expecting. I had not tasted DG '08 for many months, and this one was just fabulous. drank with a thick pumpkin soup and salad (no meat) but it still matched wonderfully. Looking forward to the rest i have as i do not see a near-term dropoff

Very Good. Tasted at vinyard, 2009. Multi-layered. Exciting acidity.
