With Fran & Fran at our house for dinner, last 2 bottles from a batch bought in Healdsburg a few years back. Decanted for about 30 minutes, drank one bottle after the whites , the other at the end of the evening. Nice translucent garnet/brick color. Nose benefits from the decant (Tight at first), Palate of bright red fruits, strawberry, cherry, earth. Medium weight and finish.
Better than I remember prior bottles, its settled in and added some complexity. In a better spot, enjoyable wine

Solid Russian River Pinot.
A more creamy finish than typical.

Well structured with a muted aroma and a smooth ripe berry palate. Drink now
