This was actually a magnum taken to a dinner party and consumed with a leg of lamb. Lovely wine, all tannins smoothed out but the fruit was still quite vibrant. These Navarro Pinots have a sneaky ability to age well.

Another Saturday at Chevalier...Mostly Blind New World Pinot Noir (Chevalier Fine Wines - Chicago IL): Certainly enjoyable mostly black fruit with faint spice notes. Still nicely fresh with enough background structure. Nothing complex, but nicely tasty now.

Still deeply impressive. Fully integrated with lively fruit on the palate.

Drank much better than last two bottles. Agree with previous recent notes.
Needed about an hour to fully open up but it also started out at cellar temperature.

At it's peak now IMO. Full bodied with fruit still showing. No bricking.
