On the downslope, but still remarkably good. Comes across as a big wine, though by no means flabby or overripe (label states 13.5% abv). Also spikes high on a distinctive spiciness that I found distinctively pleasant on release and still recognize and quite like almost a decade later. Sort of quirky - a Marin County Pinot - and all the better for it!

Always on Halloween, always great! This bottle was part of a three-year vertical that we did for Halloween dinner. Excellent as always, but the prize for the night went to the '15. This particular bottle seems like it might be near its peak.

PnP. Big and rich with a little bit of spice. Very nice.

Devil's Gulch... always on Halloween, always great! The 2013 vintage is drinking excellent.
