  This was delicious. Not amazingly expressive, but what was there was complex and well balanced. Terrible value at the $50+ winery price, but good enough for $30.

  More cellar time (just four months shy of 5 years to be exact) has indeed improved my enjoyment of this wine. Rich, opaque garnet with fallow ruby edge. Nose of cherry cola, but tertiary notes of sweet tobacco and wet earth come through. On the palate: bing cherry, damson plum and river rocks. Mouthfeel is plush and tannins are silky smooth, perceived only slightly on the cheeks. Wine still has weight...it is on the heavy side for pinot, but getting more agreeable with age. Enduring finish of cranberry and forest floor with a glint of iron that goes on and on.

  Long in tooth but opened up. Still thin.

  A Beautiful bouquet of berry aroma, with no taste of oak, went well with our left over beef Wellington and elk.
  Cheers!

  Not as good as I had hoped. A wine I usually like, showed poorly. Thin and light. Flavor correct, just not enough, and very simple.
