Bold still but showing tertiary elements of bricking at the meniscus and earthy elements on the back end. Still some nice dark fruit on the attack though. Serious quality here. I'm glad I waited.

PnP, slightly chilled. Clear, med/dark purple red. Nose was very light until it got some air time, then med/rich plum, cherrry and black fruit nose. Drank quite differently than expected compared to many CA Sonoma Pinots. Med/full body, rich and big in flavor/style, surprisingly tart which carried from entry through finish. Very pleasing, certainly not a fruit bomb or over extracted. Sour & red cherry, red/blue fruit, good integration/balance, long dry finish. Excellent with cigar. Good drinking window but should hold for a few years yet. Nothing off. $53

Big California fruit forward style but beautifully balanced with mineral burgundy notes and silky texture and long finish

More subtle than previous bottle. I believe this wine is drinking at its peak. Drink up. Enjoy.
