  This bottle wasn't showing too well at all. Upon opening, notes of dried red and fruits, some floral, then after about 20 minutes, that faded into some serious old prune, mulled fruit territory with a strong bitter herb finish. I'd say drink up, this would have been better a few years ago- but I wouldn't be surprised if a few here and there are showing very well.

  - Ruby color with medium forming legs. It's somewhat balanced and has flavours of black currant, raspberry and strawberry with a medium body. Narrow texture with a medium finish - This wine is at its peak or slightly past.

  - Crimsom color with medium forming legs. It's balanced and has flavours of black currant, raisin, prune and strawberry jam with a light/medium body. Round texture with a medium finish - This is a wonderful Pinot that is reasonably priced. Light in texture with a great finish.

  my last bottle, nose is all herbs, green and asparagus, palate is big (typical for cali pinot, most of which i don't like) but there is enough acid and bite to make enjoyable... like this much more that the bottle last year, mouthfeel is nice with subtle gritty tannin, cherry, medicinal, slight bitterness and decent acid all make for a relatively interesting combo and an enjoyable drink
