good mixed currant and earth nose; a bit of spice and herb; black tea, then unpleasant bitterroot/iodine flavors take over in mid palate as the fruit fades. Uncertain provenance with this bottle. Not sure what to make of this, but would guess this is a flaw from the beginning that is more prominent now as the fruit ages.

Bigger style Pinot which is my preference. Tight at first but increasingly enjoyable as it opened up. An interesting combination of flavors including some on the bitter side to go along with sweet fig and plumb. Would like to give this another whirl sometime soon, the fact that it follwed a well put together Kosta Brown Sonoma Coast probably hurt my rating...

Tight and sour. Definitely not what I remember. The same evening drank a 2007 Freestone Hill Vineyard which showed *much* better.

Big-style cali pinot. Tannins still present. Rich fruit makes for a long finish. Great with Thanksgiving leftovers

Others have described this wine well. I liked the acidity and layers of flavor. Went very well with food.
