I love the sense of humor of my friends, because I got blinded on this for the third time (mainly because every bottle is so different). A bit fuller on the palate compared to the second bottle. Guessed RRV Pinot with 15-20 years of age.

Bottle to bottle variation? Drank it a few months ago and I was confused, thinking it was a 90s Cab. This time, I blind called 2010s Central Cali Pinot. Didn't strike me as 90s or Cab. Interesting. Well-made though.

Soaring aroma of ripe, wild strawberries, forrest floor & fresh herbs. Ripe red fruit on the palate, a little earthy & a hint of vanilla bean. Full, lush, long & silky. Some fine tannins dance on the tongue at the back end, finishes long & sweet with a touch of spearmint & all spice. What a delicious wine! Not so complex, but easy & friendly. Still has freshness. I'm not surprised though. A 1987 Dehlinger pinot drunk a few years ago was also amazing!

Wow. So much weight on this body that I actually thought it was a well-crafted, cool climate CA Cab with age.
Tons of dense purple fruit, lush earth, freshness, and balance. Absolutely delicious and a screaming value.

Ross Bott tasting -- phenomenal, loaded with spicy fruit, bacon fat and plummy goodness.
