Poured out two glasses & let breathe around 45 min. Dark garnet with a lighter rim. The nose is spot on. Ripe bing cherry mixed with mushroom/earthy aromatics. Full bodied, dark, rich fruit right away. Polished & plush. A modern style Pinot. Structured, but masked a bit. Some pretty red fruit emerges on the mid palate. This is slightly unbalanced as some heat shows on the finish.

All black fruit comes across as ripe while wonderfully balanced, and still bright for its level and age. Phenomenal value wine.

An odd bottle. Ripe black cherry with much more earth than I'd expect at this age. Somewhat hollow middle.

red and black fruit with spice. Big and juicy, overripe for OP, very CA in style.
