Decanted 3 hrs. and served at cellar temp. Enjoyed as it warmed over the next 3 hours a medium plus body wine with significant fruit and a great complement to our short rib diner. Enjoyed equally with and without food as the wine warmed. Last bottle, wish I had more.

Medium plus garnet red. Love the complexity and layers on this Sonoma Mountain Pinot; smoked wood chips, burnt grass, dark red cherries, bramble berries, cranberries and a touch of purple flowers. Moderate acidity (7/10) and tannins (6/10). Full bodied with a savory start on the palate with tons of thick red berries, a touch of dark cocoa and even a bit of minerality near the finish. Long and lingering finish. Drink till 2027. (93)

Blind CA Pinot Noir (Round 2): Deep ruby color. A rich, deep aromatic display, but the aromas show vibrancy as well – I get red and black cherries along with roses, black tea, paved road, sarsaparilla, and cola. A full-body (14.2%) but this wine shows structured yet fleshy tannins and moderate acidity, so it’s bold but balanced. The black cherry, pomegranate and raspberry fruit is warm but fresh – laced with coffee, scorched earth, cola, clove, apple cinnamon spice. Chewy and warm but pleasantly vibrant and airy– seems like it could unfold for quite a few years in the cellar. Aged 11 months in ¼ new French oak.
