Very, very good for $30, but found the oak a little too forward. Still - quintessential RRV pinot with dark cherry and spice with a long finish. Will pick up more but that's because I'm already a fan of the winery.

Day 1: This is amazing out of the gate. What a great closeout special. Strawberry, mint, forest floor, spice, raspberries and earth. Medium plus finish and drinking in a perfect window. 92 points Day 1.25: Getting some nice Cranberry on this wine. So much better than most wines at $50. Day 2: Still going strong with forest floor, ripe strawberries, raspberries, spice and earth. A well made Pinot. 92 points Day 3: Really on the same level as day 1 and 2. Recommendation: Would not pay full retail but the price I got it for is a stellar deal.

Day 1: A bit tight and not showing what it did in previous bottles. Strawberry, earth, minerals and spiced. Medium finish. 87 points Day 2: Brilliant and open for business. Strawberry, raspberries, spice, rose petals, dust, minerals and forest floor. Much more enjoyable than day 1 and medium plus finish. 92 points Recommendation: Decant 3 hours on day 1 or hold as this will drink well through 2028.

Thanksgiving wine and solid again with strawberry, violets, spice, earth and minerals. Medium finish and nice acidity.
