  Still tasting great !! At peak !!
  Perfect cork after over a decade in the bottle, easily removed. Dark burgundy in color with medium clarity. Consumed this balanced Pinot Noir over two days. Aromas of cranberry and pomegranate, with a touch Asian spice. Flavors of sweet red berries, black cherry cola, earth, and cinnamon with a medium to long mineral finish. This wine has aged beautifully and is at peak. I have no bottles of this vintage year remaining in my cellar. Great Pinot Noir fruit of Beringer clone from Dutton Ranch's "Widdoes Vineyard" is located between the towns of Graton and Occidental in the Russian River Valley appellation. Another great winemaking effort by Sean Capiaux.

  Some spice to the nose, but generally rather muted. Still dynamic flavor. Pepper and ripe fruit early. Spice and pepper linger quite a while. Some leather on the finish. Very enjoyable!

  Medium ruby color, slightly cloudy. Nose of ripe plums and black cherry along with a bit of cola and baking spices and a bit of oak. Similar flavors on the palate with spicy dark red fruit flavors and a bit of vanilla and raspberries with cream. Really smooth and quite delicious. Medium acid and tannins with a nice finish. Everyone enjoyed this wine quite a bit.

  From subtle oak nose to long bright finish, a very enjoyable wine.

  It's got some heat, questionable QPR. Black cherry, black pepper, muted nose. Last go around with this producer. Tired of the syrah type features in my Pinot.
