No formal notes taken: Dark color, nose of beetroot. Sappy and attractive. Good body, pleasant finish. Much better than the Meredith Mitchell PN 2011 from Ayoub

(Ojai Pinot Noir Bien Nacido Vineyard) Black-tinged medium dark ruby color; forest floor, rosehips nose; tasty, light-medium bodied, forest floor, rosehips, mineral, floral, roses palate; needs 3-plus years for integration of whole cluster, but should be very pretty at that point; medium-plus finish (13% alcohol; 15% whole cluster; 16 months in 35% new French oak, racked only for bottling) 92+ points

Ideally should have had another couple of years, but showed its color after an hour of so.
