Surprisingly overwhelmingly jammy at the start but this did settle down over time with some air. A little richer and rounder than my previous notes suggested. Clearly a California Pinot.

Still very lively. Unusually sweet aromas lead to dark cherries and a bit of smoke. Rich cherries on the palate with some herbs and a bit of cedar. Very nice rich and silky finish with some well integrated tannins. Seems at peak, likely to hold for a couple more years. Only downside is the very sweet nature of the fruit - so hope future drinkers like that style!

Deep, dark, rich on the nose and in the mouth. This has extraordinary power that unfolds as it gets closer to room temperature. Does not reflect its 7 years of age at all. Still going strong with deep red fruit, ample spice box and acidity. A touch of smoke lingers around the fruit. Just a great bottle!

Silky, rich and supple. Spice, tobacco, juniper. Full bodied for a Pinot….bit of heat.
