as before. really nice aged pinot. quite burgundian--much more serious than a usual california pinot. nice weight and balabce and structure. a bargain. aged nicely. no real hurry

I am surprised at the 88 average. to me this is an excellent pinot. medium body. very dark fruit--black cherry even blackberry and some tobacco. a nice interesting earthy component to the bouquet and on the palate. Complex. very tart. decent finish. Really enjoyable to swisha nd draw air over this one and contemplate it. again, very good and interesting pinot for the money. Fruit may be fading a bit. Drink up

okay. has the pinot acidity and not enough fruit for me. was okay, but was hoping for a bit more. much prefer the 2007 buena vista carneros pinot that i've been drinking recently, which is cheaper and has more balance of fruit and nice slight pinot funk.

Opened another bottle last night and it was much better than I last remembered. Nice complexity, aroma of leathers and tobacco, great mouthfeel. Fruit on the palate include dark cherries. Medium bodied with balanced acidity. Great expression of a Carneros/Sonoma Pinot

medium body that fills out more on day 2; good mix of wild berry fruit; good balance and mouthfeel. Nice QPR at $10 on sale.
