  Starting to fade nearing the end of life. I agree with my tasting notes of the past 3.5 years.
  Near perfect cork easily removed. Dark burgundy color with modest oxidation and medium clarity. Consumed over two days, fruit faded quickly. I have no bottles of this vintage remaining in the cellar.

  Still hanging in there !! I agree with my tasting note of almost 15 months ago.
  Perfect cork, easily removed. Dark burgundy color with medium clarity. Consumed over two days, remained balanced throughout. Old world style Pinot Noir, very Burgundian. I still have one bottle of this vintage remaining in the cellar.

  Still tasting really good right now !! A perfect cork after a decade in the bottle. Consumed over two days; this balanced wine showed well upon opening and the next day it had softened with increased depth and integrated complexity. Deep ruby color with no oxidation, clarity medium. Aromas of pomegranate and cranberry. Flavors of red raspberry with a hint of forest floor. This Pinot Noir has a medium finish and is a balanced and flavorful Pinot Noir from the Mendocino Ridge appellation. This age worthy wine has more life remaining. I still have 2 bottles remaining in my cellar and will be verifying this review soon.

  Lovely great earth and citrus/Blood Orange showing some spice rack.

  Pomegranate and raspberry fruit. Some pretty sharp tartness and then a cedar and forest floor finish. Quite a lot of sediment. Definitely more of a food-oriented wine.
  
  6/14/14 Quite a few different impressions this time. More black fruit along with the raspberry. Some licorice notes, too. Good forest-y finish, but the sharpness of the actual tannins were muddled.
