Revisiting again 6 years later and much more enjoyable now. Deep colored and full bodied. Classic pinot aromas, but has shed some of the acidity. Very much enjoyed by the group. It still has many years of pleasure left.

Opened, poured and let sit about 45 min. Then: Maybe some red fruit on the nose. Taste is more red fruit; not spicy, maybe more cherryish; good balance, although acidity fading a bit; tannin not an issue; nice mouthfeel, although softening a bit. Taste carries through for a bit on the finish. Somewhat monotone, but a nice tone. A very pleasant wine, with no particular off-notes. Seems fairly mature at this point. I have several more of these and plan to drink up in the short-term.

Really lovely. Fruit is pronounced and well integrated. Good balance and tannins are typical for RRV. Very good now and will look forward to the next ones with a bit more age on them

complex, well-balanced and extremely long finish. Strong fruit. Will last at least a few more years and likely much more.
