  • Real nice, but fruit is fading ahead of the tannins. Downhill.

  • Quite nice actually. Fully resolved. Very light in color. expressive nose and nice burgundian palate.

  • Pale but bright, almost youthful appearance. Aromas of cherry pie and baking spice, with toasty oak and alcohol notes. Some fruit left but this is surprisingly hollow in the middle. The fruit is still primary but appears to be drying out, leaving a shell of toasty, slightly astringent oak. If this bottle is representative it's time to drink up. I enjoyed the 2001 regular (non Reserve, which I'd guess sees less new oak) a year ago much more than this bottle.

  • Opened and not decanted, but in hindsight I should have decanted. Quite an enjoable wine and would have rated higher if the finish wasn't hot. After being open for several hours the wine really finds itself and the heat dissapates off the finish.

  • Lighter ruby color than most CA pinot I've had recently. Wow. Aroma of window sill cherry pie, with the pie crust as well as the fruit, throw in some flowers. Elegant sweet spice,more subtle florals, Dr. Pepper and touch of damp root. Complex, perfectly balanced, and and kept getting more power with air time. Light tannins and a very rightious finish. Hear the regular bottling is even better, but hard to imagine. not sure how it will age.
