On first sip - big smile. Love my RM orange peel. Dried red fruits, floral, adding in earth. Good length on the finish, with high complexity. Paired well with Rao's spaghetti and sauce.
There seems to be some bottle variation / need to decant these. Or my score is highly dependent on mood / how loud the kids are around dinnertime...

Quick coravin pour, no decant. Tart red fruit, spice, bramble, earth. Adding in secondary notes. Either this needed a bit of a decant or it is past peak.

Just shy of a decade - drinking very well. Perfect mix between red and blue fruit. Plum, cinnamon, powder, twigs, tight tannins. Absolute pleasure to drink.

A silky fruit-forward Sonoma pinot, but with some character to set it apart. A touch of acidity on day one, which softened on day two and led to a finish that got a bit darker, with some earth. Paired well with homemade vegetable lasagna.
