  Just as good as before with wild berry, black cherry fruit, cola notes, and some subtle spice to it. Nice balance throughout, long finish.

  Pw/1 hr decant. Clear, usual purple Pinot color. Great nose with some swirling. Excellent vintage, powerful, big body, fairly extracted but balanced and not too hot or jammy. Black/blue fruit, cola, black tea. Definitely CA. If you like a rich style, this is it. Long finish, nothing off. $59

  Too ripe, big and unbalanced for my Pinot tastes. Heavy on the jammy blue/black fruits and licorice/anise flavors. Nose is a bit hot.

  Decanted 3 hours and rebottled. Nice nose of black cherry, herbs and earth. Quite full bodied for a pinot with nice dark cherry fruit with notes of forest floor, stems and crushed rocks. Well balanced with nice acidity. Medium plus finish with smooth tannins and just a little spice. This drinks well now with plenty of air but really could do with several years in the cellar. Really outstanding pinot that is worth seeking out (92+).
