Two hour decant to blow off the remaining alcohol. Elegant, well balanced, nuanced primary notes of cherry cola with underlying notes of brooding red fruits. Drinking beautifully but will probably not evolve more.

May have hit its peak. Good, but not as good as 18 mos ago. Rather than opening up over a few hours it went a bit flat, lost its balanced oomph, which is what made it great.

I shared this with my wine group at a Pinot Noir night. Much bigger than I remember from my previous bottle. This was definitely a CA Pinot Noir. Big, highly extracted, it still had a lot of upfront fruit. Long finish. Great nose.

A little green on the nose - fresh vibrant red fruits on the palate with a lingering finish.

Aging well. Still nice amount of cherry, and acid to balance with sage, mushroom and earthy flavors developing. Excellent pairing with grilled salmon.
