Nice CA Pinot, restrained, red fruited, with firm acidity. Opened up nicely on day #2. Not a wine to chase after any longer for me and lacking the ripeness of 2009

Raspberry, Black Cherry, Pomegranate, Sous Bois and some nice herb components. Focused Red fruit spectrum, with floral notes popping. Dense, but not syrupy. Earth, mushroom, herb and soil notes compliment the fruit in a dense compact package.
Full palate and bold flavors. Give this time to open up and it really struts.

PNP. cork perfect. color dark ruby. nose has spice and red fruit. swishing shows acid, tannin and alcohol. just a little hot. swishing shows core of cherry fruit with good polish and soft finish. thinking this will work well younger. this is not nearly as oak influenced as some older vintages....nice tonight

Moving into tertiary flavors, slight hint of the bright fruit. Soft mouth feel.

Unfortunately this was cooked, heavily oxidized, nose of raisin, off-putting flavour. Hopefully others have better luck with their provenance.
