This has leaned down with air and lost its baby fat making it more of a medium bodied pinot style I like. That said, while it was very drinkable and had some earthy terroir, something was missing versus a 2005 Siduri Gary's I had. 88-89. May have been better young. Drink now or in next year or 2.

Earthy pinot with hints of cherry cola, goes down easy.
