Last bottle. See previous notes but all consistent and similar in quality. Love the cherry cola and spice notes. Wish I had purchased more. Onward to the next vintage of this that I have which is the 2013!

Another exceptional bottle that matched the first bottle I had. An amazing bottle and one that made me want to locate the remaining two bottles. Shared with friends and this disappeared in an instant. Wine of the night.

Alcohol and cherry on the nose with hints of earth and mushroom but the heat dominates. ripe cherry and earthy tannins and some heat on the palate. Thank goodness there are no cola notes. Oak is still quite noticeable and not fully integrated at 8 years old. This wine is still young and primary but I don't think age will turn this into something more interesting than it is today. This is at least drinkable to me but certainly not me style, but I can recognize the quality. For me. a bit too ripe, flabby and soft. Would be a decent QPR at 1/2 the price but as is its just another over priced CA Pinot Noir.

Another great bottle….see previous notes. Truly a great producer of Pinot Noir. Sadly, just one left…may try to open for Christmas or New Years!

Decanted 1 hour and delightful. An absolutely stunning wine, like I was drinking silk with every sip.
