  In a great spot, this wine is tasting extremely good right now !! I agree with my review of over half a year ago.
  The cork was perfect after a decade in the bottle. This is a balanced Pinot Noir that I consumed over two days. Deep ruby color with no oxidation, clarity medium. Aromas of pomegranate and cherry, flavors of cranberry, cherry cola, rhubarb, black tea, and baking spice with a pleasant medium to long finish. Popped and poured, this wine really benefited from gentle oxygen since it was much more soft & integrated on day two. Great fruit with firm acidity made into a very balanced Pinot Noir from Trenton View in the Russian River Valley appellation of Sonoma County. This Pinot Noir is an age worthy wine and has many more years of life remaining. Unfortunately, I have no more bottles remaining from this vintage. A great winemaking effort from Rod Berglund.

  Old world style in California, dare I say Burgundian. Tasting really great right now !! Perfect cork after a decade in the bottle. Consumed this balanced wine over two days. Shows nice fruit and acid, then soft and integrated complexity as it opened. Ruby color with no oxidation, clarity medium. Aromas of pomegranate and cranberry. Flavors of bing cherry, raspberry, and black tea with a hint of baking spice. This Pinot Noir has a medium finish. This age worthy wine is a balanced and flavorful Pinot Noir that has more years of life left. A great winemaking effort from Rod Berglund.

  Pleasant. Seemed a bit hot and more one-dimensional than I was expecting. 14.5 alcohol and it shows. Thought there would be a bit more evolution over the years. Very much showing as a bigger RRV pinot. Cherry, cola, tempered strawberry, some baking spice, with medium acidity. Don't get the ond world comparisons, but tasty.

  Old world nose but still with a generous dose of fruit on the palate. Acid is medium plus which helps with the ripeness. Tastes like a 2003 Cote du Beaune.
