A very good wine with a unique style - it is a CA Pinot, but there are aspects that remind me of Oregon. Darker color than many Pinots. Black cherries, strawberry and some earth. Silky, beautiful mouthfeel - very well made. No rush, but this is ready to drink.

Awesome wine with a gourmet meal of suckling pig and roasted duck breast at Lucques in L.A. Sadly, I didn't take notes at the time, but what I do remember is that it knocked my socks off! If you have a bottle in your cellar, count yourself very lucky, as his small lot production is hard to find and has increased in price by about 40% for the newest vintage.

Ripe boisin/organic blueberries, needs to relax and settle down in the bottle. Some cherry and tartness. Too young. Re-visit in a year or so. Vick's vapor rub with some back-end heat.
