not bad. was open for a couple hours throughout the night. had a slight jammy flavor at first, but that dissipated over time. had some strong smoke and strawberry notes. By end of night the smoke had a bacon quality to it too. overall a decent wine that everyone seemed to enjoy.

color was strangely bricked - would have led you to believe this was much older than it was - got a bit of an earthy dried fruit on the nose - taste carried through with some really nice sour cherry and def. a touch of tart pomegranite- finish had some tanin and acidity - I would say this reminded me of the Sonoma pinots produced before 2004 - lots of character without the big bright fruit that the current crop of Cali pinot stars seem to be - which I do no like. Nice job Mayo

Not quite as awesome as I remember, possibly past its prime now. Last bottle, oh well.

brown/orange color. Strong component of dried fruit.
