had this right after a decant and a short 10-15 minute wait; really terrific CA pinot; tons of bright cranberry but good acidic tension; medium bodied; so pretty and decadent; my two dinner guests loved this

Not nearly as stellar as the same bottle I had 18 months ago. I agree with DnL Cellars in that this wine has definitely peaked and should be consumed soon.

Enjoyable but needs to be consumed within a year or so. Slight raisin finish, otherwise absolutely nothing wrong with it, just won't get much better from here. Very solid, full bodied, long finish
On second night, upping this to a 93, nose is still there, wine is still very full bodied and flavorful. I just can't see this getting much better and we'll drink our last bottle within the year

Delicious ripe dark fruit with floral and spice notes on the silky palate with a lingering and savory long finish. Drinking beautifully!
