  Still a delightful Pinot Noir !!
  I agree with my tasting notes of the last year and a half. May be just past peak.
  A perfect cork after over a decade in the bottle. Consumed over two days. A balanced and flavorful Pinot Noir from Leras Family Vineyard in the Russian River Valley appellation. This age worthy wine just starting to fade. The last bottle in the cellar of this vintage. Great fruit selection and a great winemaking effort by Ben Papapietro.

  A really delightful Pinot Noir !!
  I agree with my tasting note of 8 months ago.
  A perfect cork after over a decade in the bottle. Consumed over two days. A balanced and flavorful Pinot Noir from Leras Family Vineyard in the Russian River Valley appellation. This age worthy wine may have more life remaining. I still have one bottle remaining in the cellar and will drink it in the next year or so to validate my notes. Great fruit selection and a great winemaking effort by Ben Papapietro.

  Still alive and kicking. Seems like the spice notes are surprisingly a bit less than I imagine they were young, but the red fruit is there and has picked up a sweet note. Good acidity.

  Still tasting really good right now !! A perfect cork after a decade in the bottle. Consumed over two days. This balanced wine showed more fresh fruit on the first day and on 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 bing cherry, raspberry with a hint of forest floor. This Pinot Noir has a medium finish. A balanced and flavorful Pinot Noir from Leras Family Vineyard in the Russian River Valley appellation. This age worthy wine may have more life remaining. I still have a couple of bottles remaining in the cellar and will drink them in the next year or so to see how they are holding up. Great fruit selection and a great winemaking effort by Ben Papapietro.

  Found this bottle (thought they were all gone!) and it was excellent with roast chicken. Cherry and tart cranberry with a smooth finish.
