Excellent Sonoma Pinot. Has the acidity and balance to last another 2 years or more! great cherry and other berry fruit. Medium body, long finish and mild tannins. 91-92 overall.

Drank at home on Christmas Eve with Mom and Dad. Dark cherry, boysenberry and rich aroma. A Sangiovese-like red vitamin fruit aroma. Suggesting at the beginnings of mid-life. fine-grained tannin not very apparent any longer. med/- tannin, med/+ acid. earth and spice with concentrated fruit. Not much saying this isn't 07 Coltibuono Estate CC. Punchy acid, earth, rustic fruit. New leather. Mint not unlike Aussie Shiraz. Not hot, easy texture and balance. Concentrate for surely.

13.6% alcohol. Time has been very, very kind to this wine. Dark red cherry color, with no signs of age at all. Tremendous bouquet of pure black cherry, earth, and light spice notes. In the mouth, this is velvety and refined, with terrific balance that mingels beautifully with perfectly juicy cherry fruit. It is supported by plenty of earth, spice, and a touch of mushroom in the background, with present but in-check acidity and a delightful, refined finish that puts a terrific cap on a beautiful, elegant Pinot. A real triumph. A-/A

Strong acidity underscores the fundamentally linear structure of the wine. Excellent finish. This is quite youthful still but really beautiful and an individual wine. A-
