A bit dark and brooding, this was certainly a full-throttle Pinot at one point, but the fruit has mellowed out a bit to a wonderfully well-rounded wine. I bought this at the winery a while ago, and still remember my trip there. The tasting room is a bit over-the-top (complete with coon-skin bottle stoppers), indicating the winery has gone a bit corporate, but this wine is still top-notch. Outstanding. thedrunkencyclist.com

In the decanter, but pretty sure this bottle is cooked. Makes sense given the cost from Glendale. Bummer! Bottle I got from the winery direct were gorgeous...

Dark fruit flavors of raspberry and cherry along with a bit of earth and well integrated oak. Very nice.
