I really like the pinot not being so fruit forward and being so much bigger. Had a dinner party of 8 and it was overwhelmingly liked. Had a second bottle.

This is a really nice Cali PN with an abundance of penetrating, earthy dark fruit along with a spicy, peppery core, all followed by a longish finish on which the bulk of the tannins have resolved. All in all quite nice, but even though there's lots of fruit here, it's not plagued by the typical forwardness of most Cali PNs that leaves even the best of them tasting generic to me. This one's a winner and I wish I had bought more of it. Also, it has a really great qpr!

Nose of plum and graphite remains, but the fruit has mostly faded from the palate.

Effervescent, olives, blackberries. Score will increase if the Raptors win this game...
