Enjoyed before and after going out to a b-day dinner. Raspberry & red plum. A little sulphury(?) aftertaste? Or just earthy(?) Anyone else get this, or am I noticing this from diminishing fruit?

Still tasting great. I think the Foxen versions from this vineyard cellar better than the mothership. Perhaps it's the maker? I do know this is as bright and fresh as a few years ago. Very de-lish. Raspberry and strawberry are center stage. Balance and acidity are in the right spot and the finish is silky smooth. So sad that the exchange is no longer in place because the comparative efforts are always a fun contrast in style.

Decanted 30 minutes - Dark Purple, Nose was full of spice, oak actually smelled like a 10 year old Napa Cab! Full body and still had nice acidity but loads of dark fruit still with slight oak. Great finish and this wine had aged well. Not a typical Pinot at all glad we held for a few more years.

Very nice! Much better than Sea Smoke's own Southing.
