Does well with acid, some red fruit, floral, meatiness, and smoke. Balance between primary, secondary, tertiary still exists. Savory. These age really well, even if this probably would have showed more a few years ago. Struggled against food and after an hour of air, so drink up.

PnP the first night and stayed basically unchanged for 4 additional days. This remains very nicely balanced with fruit still leaning towards the primary end of the spectrum. Love the palate brightness and the fruit. Guessing this could go another decade or two.

Cherry and plum on the nose. Light strawberry and blueberry initially, with hints of green alfalfa and green leaf lettuce. Finish is a bit superficial but pleasant. Overall easy drinking and decent everyday pinot, playful and inviting. Nice value wine for < 30 USD at auction.

Recent purchase from WineBid. Not the most exciting Cali Pinot, but I thought this was drinking very nicely and enjoyed every sip. I never tried it in its youth, but this tasted like it was aging very well and should continue to be enjoyable for several more years.

This bottle drank very similar to the last one. Aging very gracefully.
