This was a really pleasant surprise. Drinking well and At least for me, performing better than prior reviews. Dark purple color. Blackberry, dark cherry notes with a nice earthiness.

Beautiful deep color and nice nose. Definitely needs decanting as it improved as the night went on and was - I dare say - better the second night as the tannins had almost completely dissipated and the deep red cherry flavor was prominent.

Big pinot - classic for Russian River valley and particularly '09. Lots of fruit and drinking pretty well right now compared to other '09s pinots I've had recently.

Dark and tasty. Nice balance and great mouthfeel. Low tannin. Good fruit. Probably at its prime right now. Doubtful it will developed any more with time. Drink up.

Medium dark. Nice fruity nose with hints of apple pie spice, cola. Dark cherry. Tasting nicely right now.
