Simply amazing Pinot and not from the acclaimed Russian River or Willamette Valleys but from the Central Coast. This 6 year old was drinking perfectly, round and well refined and a pure joy to sip with dinner and then after dinner by the fireplace. Just enough fruit left to keep it tasty on the front of the palette but able to deliver a subtle cedar and slate on the finish. Tried as I did to make it last all night I eventually found the bottom of the bottle. Well worth the long ride in the cellar.

Nose of black and red fruit, cigar box, raspberry, blackberry, and tea must, same on the palate, very tasty, at it's best, time to drink up, to me the bouquet is always better than the palate, paired well with roasted turkey, long, flavorful finish.

Medium dark red for a pinot. Nice nose, good acid with excellent fruit presence. Long finish.
