Nose - smoky, minerally, rhubarb, black plum and mint. Black plum, sage, red plum, mint, dark minerality, smoke. Very elegant. 93++ pts (This was my #1 wine last year. I think it's a bit closed, despite how well it's drinking. It should peak in about 10 years and could easily end up a 96 pt wine.)

PWTG California Pinot Noir Tasting (Wine Bank, Menlo Park): Blind flight of 5 2005/2006 CA Pinots and 1 Burg. Group's #5 wine, My #6
Nose of wet dog, burnt hair, tar and teriyaki. Big flavor but also big alcohol.

Medium body, expressive fruit with silky tannins, medium finish. The wine is still young and should improve over the next few years.
