  Still going strong after all these years, what a great wine - clean, great pinot character, though sure - the fruit was more present years ago. Still great though as a fully mature Pinot.

  Very good showing from a bottle that had been stored in a cool cellar for 12 years. ! This well made wine food friendly Pinot illustrated the potential of the Santa Rita hills appellation when good wine making is put into practice. The primary feature was layers of layered bright berry and dark cherry fruits, framed by core of acidity and minerality. This lacked the true depth found in the vest best pinot's but it had many of the characteristics of a fine village Burgundy from Beaune or Savigny.

  No problems with cork. Wine had a great color. Flavor was a bit on the tart side.

  Our server said that the cork broke upon opening. The wine did show some browning. The main aroma were leather. The wine was fine and demonstrated how a PN ages.

  intoxicating nose, crisp acidity, and a palate with fruit, earth, leather, and mineral. surprised to find so much life in this bottle. significantly better than both the 05 VS and 05 regular bottles opened with it. The nose would work blind in a Burg line-up. Lovely wine.
