  Still tasting good !!
  A perfect cork after over a decade in the bottle, easily removed. Consumed over three days. Fresher fruit early, a little tired on day three. Deep ruby color with modest oxidation, clarity medium. Aromas of pomegranate and cranberry. Flavors of black cherry, raspberry, and black tea with a hint of forest floor. This Pinot Noir has a medium finish. A balanced and flavorful Pinot Noir blend from the Russian River Valley appellation. This age worthy wine may have more life remaining. I have three more bottles remaining in my cellar, so I will open soon to verify this tasting note. Great fruit and a great winemaking effort by Ben Papapietro.

  We’ve had this bottle since it’s release and it’s been well stored. We opened it this evening and were quite surprised at how silky smooth, and fresh the wine tasted. The fruit has mellowed a bit but it’s still there in every respect. The berries notes make this wine delicious. I’m thrilled that it’s still so good!

  Incredible complex aromatics with cherry and smoke dominating yet finish was on the short side. Well made. Would like to try other vintages as this was my first from this producer. Drink within following 5 years.
