  Similar to my last notes. 30 minute decant.
  Didn't have the chocolate on the nose this time which I really enjoy in the first bottle. The tannins were really smooth and not much for acidity.
  On more bottle which I will drink this fall.

  A whole lot of fruit and a whole lot of oak. Also showing the typically Californian cherry candy and sarsaparilla hallmarks. Fairly heavily extraction imparts some green edges. Medium acid, somewhat abrupt finish. Drink soon.

  Purple, opaque, California styled fruit forward Pinot Noir. If you’re looking for Burgundy this isn’t for you. If you want a Pinot with s9me fruit pushing back at you, enjoy. 5+13+16+7=91

  1 hour decant. Purple in color.
  On the nose I got really ripe cherries and chocolate. Very nice on the nose! On the palate I got Plum, berries and cherries. Well balanced tannins and acidity.
  Very nice Pinot for the price. Drinking well right now. I will revisit this wine in 2018. 2 more bottles in the cellar. Definitely will back fill at the right $$.

  Purple and semitransparent. The nose has both ripe red fruit and earthy floral notes that I look for in Russian River Pinot Noir. Modest acidity, medium and velvety mouth feel. Cranberry finish. The girls are telling me they are getting white pepper on the palate but I'm not. Drinking well regardless. Working well with tonight's salmon. 5+12+16+8=91
