  Tasted after 1 hour of air. Cloudy light garnet color. Sour fruit on the nose. Stewed red berry fruits. Sour. Zero mid palate. Not sure what is going on here. This isn't corked. The other tasters, including me, have obviously liked this better than I. No finish. Must be an off bottle???

  Tasted after 1 hour of air. Medium garnet color. Nice floral red berry fruits on the nose. Expressive sour rhubarb fruit just pops on the palate. I like the nice strong cut of acidity. The fruit is waffling between sweet and sour. Excellent balance. Some taught tension here between fruit and acid. Very interesting. This is in a great drinking window and showing no signs of fading.

  Very similar to the 2007 and 2009 RRV Ladd Pinots from the BerserkerDay pack. That is, fresh and lively Cali Pinot on the acid-driven side. Really enjoyed this, though I very slightly preferred the two others. This is the kind of Cali Pinot I can really embrace.

  I was a little excited and pulled this forgetting it was my last bottle. We were doing shrimp Thai curry at home and this just seemed like a perfect fit. Sweet dried strawberry and lots of herbal niceties. A smack of white pepper and oak/stem at the finish. Tannins are fully resolved.

  Good stuff. Tart cherry yet bright with stemmy goodness.
