It still has quite a bit of life left in it and held up beautifully with turkey breast. Interesting how this varietal stands up much better than pinot noir with larger food dishes. Would definitely buy again.

Thought this vintage might be on its way out, but this pinot meunier is still drinking extremely well. California-style fruit still very strong here, and would suggest another couple years easily within reach. The community end-date (2015) is nowhere close to being right. Submitting 2020.

Gentle with wonderful balance that I may be underrating (on my own scale) at 90 because we enjoyed this at New year's Eve with some pleasant distractions. With drinking again definitely.

Perhaps a little past its prime, but still quite good. Don't think we've had pinot meunier from any other winemaker. This is one of Chandon's main stills that they otherwise use in their sparkling wines.

Time to drink. Nose good after about an hour. A little thin and acidic.
