Really in a great place. For under $30, this is a great value. it is still young but has opened up beautifully. A nose of raspberries and cherries. On the palate, there is ripe cherry fruit but also a lovely complexity to it. Softer in texture. Nice finish. The bottle was drained quickly. no real hurry though but it is so pretty right now.

Dinner with friends (D & Ls): Glass cork. Its coming along, but this is still a bit tight especially compared to a couple of recent 2014's. This is the base Pinot. Nice cherries, slight sour cherries on the nose. On the palate, this is big but one dimensional. Very nice texture though. Good finish. The crowd did not go after this, so a couple hours later, I tried a bit more. Much more opened up but still seemed to be holding a lot back. I would not be opening these right now. A couple of more years should serve this vintage well. YMMV.

Great texture. Still young. A lot of fruit at this point, but hold for 8 to 15 years and will be great!
