  Still holding up well !! Near peak !!
  The cork was a dry and broke after over a decade in the bottle, but I managed to get it out cleanly. This balanced Pinot Noir was consumed over two days. Ruby color with minor oxidation, clarity good. Aromas of red raspberry and pomegranate, flavors of red fruit compote, rhubarb with a hint of forest floor and a medium finish. This wine benefited from gentle oxygen since it was much more soft and integrated on day two. A really nice Pinot Noir from the Anderson Valley appellation. This Pinot Noir is age worthy wine and may have some life left. My last bottle of this vintage.

  Still tasting pretty good right now !! The cork was a little dry after over a decade in the bottle, it cracked but I removed it cleanly. This balanced Pinot Noir was consumed over two days. Deep ruby color with no oxidation, clarity medium. Aromas of red raspberry and pomegranate, flavors of red fruit compote, rhubarb with a hint of forest floor and a medium finish. Popped and poured, but this wine benefited from gentle oxygen since it was much more soft and integrated on day two. A really nice Pinot Noir from the Anderson Valley appellation. This Pinot Noir is age worthy wine and may have some life left. I still have one more bottle of this vintage year to try soon and verify my tasting note.

  Bramble, brush overtones with black & red cherry. Light to medium body, decent value.

  This has improved a lot sine the last tasting. There's more of a Burgundian nose and the palate is better structured. I'll see what it's like in another year!
