Clean red and blue fruits, especially black cherry. Nicely balanced with good acidity and modest tannins. Nice finish. Overall, a very nice wine, in a big California style package.

Needs 3+ hours to fully open up, then flavors and alcohol are much better integrated. Before that, the 14.1 ABV was too noticeable for me. Also, the earthy notes come out to play then, leading to a fuller (although still big and on the rich side) wine. Certainly nice, but not my fave.

Meh. Just not my style. I have trouble withCA Pinot, outside Brewer-Clifton and William-September. Maybe better in a few years?
