14.5% abv. You can tell that this was once a big-fruited Pinot, but it seems pretty toned-down now and drinking quite well for my palate. Not super complex, but has good acidic balance and the nose is very fresh and enjoyable. Maybe has faded too much for the new world Pinot lover, so drink up soon if that's the case. Otherwise, should drink nicely for several more years. Alcohol not a problem.

Still a very nice pinot. Didn't have all the fruit/jamminess I remember from prior tastings. Maybe declining. Still very good, just different. A little acidic with a touch of heat. Soft tannins. Drink up if you have more.

Good fruit still.Popped and poured. Lots of body here and could age for several more years.
