A bit stewed right out of the bottle, which was surprising as the last two bottles of this were stellar. With a bit of time, that stewed-ness wore off a bit, exposing the rich dark fruit behind. Past the fruit, there is a fine balance with ample acidity and a strong finish. Very Good to Outstanding. thedrunkencyclist.com

Pale red, almost orangish color. Fruit had dark berry and cherry, with vanilla-oak, and earth on the end. Lingering medium finish with a nice warming mouth feel. Fruit, tannins and acidity were well integrated. Wish I had more.

Wine drank beautifully. Balanced, smooth and still some fruit holding.

Still drinking well. Amazing since it is an 06 California Pinot. Shows the value of a 56* cellar with a good wine. Glad I have 3 more bottles.
