Beautiful woman on the downslope of the passage of time but the glint in her eyes belies the past years. Having this wine now captures so many wonderful years and graceful aging with elegant refinement. The fruit may be gone but the structure remains.

This was pretty nice. A ripe style of Pinot I generally don't love, and without much acidity to balance the sweetness. And a touch of a bitter note, from wood or overripe fruit. But retained very nice varietal character, which many of these ripe Cali pinots lose.

Sweet raspberry/strawberry fruit with some spice and coffee flavors, very tight and focused, forward on the palate, short finish, needs to open, probably has at least 2-4 years more of aging to reach peak

Good fruit concentration w/o high alc or heaviness, nice complexity and terroir. Better than I expected. Drinking well now.

CHERRIES, SPICE AND A TOUCH OF EARTHINESS IN THE NOSE AND FLAVOR. MEDIUM TO LONG FINISH.
