Not sure what to think of this wine. Decanted for 30 min and it had a rather metallic edge to it. Over time the wine mellowed but evolved to a rather sour note. The wine was sound and I can see the Burgundy comparison but the wine comes up short on all fronts.

On the richer / darker side of pinot, but sugar and acid nicely in balance with a dry finish and complexity that speaks to "Old World" palates. If you like Burgundies AND Cali Pinot for different reasons, this one's for you!

Pretty comsistent with prior note but in s better place. More integrated and smoother. Still young though probably approaching a peak over the next year or so.

Moderately dark for PN. Deep but somewhat subdued nose. Initial mouth feel is lean with tar and tart cherry. Long sour finish. Not in a very good place right now. Put through a venturi and the aeration helped a great deal by pulling things together. Still quite young. Can get much better.
