  Like it much better than previous bottle. Rich and smooth but light at the same time. Moderately long palate. A bit hot. Some cola, light red fruit. Should probably continue to evolve nicely, but this is my last of the 2006s.

  Not bad but not great. Was hoping for more depth and development. Will hold last bottle for a little while longer.

  Drinking quite nicely now -- cork was easily extracted with an automatic wine opener, so I was very pleased with this bottle I recently purchased from Benchmark. I wouldn't hold onto these for much longer though.
  Light in color for a pinot, but showed a lovely aromatic profile of raspberry, spice, and a hint of floral. Medium bodied, delicate with enough complexity to easily bring you back for a 2nd glass.
  Shows the purity of RRV fruit and sports good length on the finish.
  This reminded me of a Martinelli, with less spice.
  Drank very well on its own, but paired well with salmon as well.

  The cork on this bottle came apart as the bottle was opened. We managed to extract most of it, leaving minimal cork in the wine, which was a gorgeous, quite translucent, orange-purple in color. That's right, this managed to look old and young at the same time. The subdued nose displays sweet, sugar-dusted strawberry, with peaches and cream and a shaker of cinnamon. The palate had raspberry as the prime fruit flavor, which gives way on the mid-palate to a slightly oxidized combination of caramel, treacle, and nuts. It has a lot in common with good tawny Port, actually, albeit with less overt alcohol (though still substantial at 14.6% ABV). The finish has plenty of orange-peel acidity, and solid, medium length. Overall, this is a quality bottle, though the ~$38 CT value price might be pushing it a bit. Clearly based on this bottle, though, this is a bit past peak, and it breaks down somewhat toward the end of the night. I would open them sooner rather than later if you have any left.
