Great color, good nose, a bit light on the palate, lots of upfront alcohol which for me is beginning to be a deterrent. I understand scores sell these wines and they need to sell to be in business but the overall quality, for me with age, is just not there.

PnP and drank with H over three hours, starting with a pairing with left-over Beeville ham and a side of couscous. Deep garnet color, nose of black pepper, rhubarb, and spice. Palate continues this, with addition of red fruits. Medium finish with fairly strong tannins. Alcohol seems a bit strong, but blew off after first hour.
Love this north coast Pinot. Smokey, black cherry and long finish. This California Pinot is why I don't like Oregon Pinots. This is what a Pinot should taste like

Didn't take notes. Was more enjoyable than my last bottle tasted in 5/2014 so this has aged well. 91+?
