Even at 8 years of age this Pinot needs some air to open it up. Once it breathes at bit this is a great Pinot. Smooth on the palate, with well-integrated tannins and a medium-long finish. Could easily go another 5 years.

Nice moderate intensity aromas with a bit of pinot funk, but that didn't really carry through to the taste. It was more fruit driven, but dark and more extracted fruits -- dried blackberry, dried cherry, etc. Over all it was a bit too 'fruit juicy' to me. Not my style. No wonder it's on sale everywhere (retail, LastBottle, etc.).

In a wonderful place. The Kalita terroir cola spices still in background which are always lovely.

Smells incredible. Ripe Strawberry and cherry. Still needs 2-3 years to mature. No strong tannins.
