Fantastic bottle. Kevin (Rocknroller) describes perfectly. Great bottle for 11+ years old in a hot vintage. While a bigger wine, it has such nice acidity and many nuances still present to satisfy.

Dinner with a Few Friends (Rocknroller's (Kevin & Vicki's Place)): Medium dark red color. PNP, drank 2+ glasses over 3 hours plus. Wow, this was ahead turner; certainly not unexpected, but a true delight from start to finish. Gorgeous and complex nose offering a perfume of mixed florals, dried berries and leather with plenty of earthiness and pure red berry fruits of raspberry and strawberry. The palate is at the same time quite captivating, silky and suave, medium bodied, tangy red berry fruits, black tea, truffle, and adding some spice cake to earthy foundation, and finishing with a touch of cinnamon on a long finish. This is in a fantastic spot currently and shows plenty of life ahead. Wonderful. 93+ to 94pts.

It's always so rewarding to catch a wine in the apex of its integration. Lush raspberries and cherry, Oregon dirt mixed with spice and a touch of brown sugar. Beautiful acidity and silky tannins. Very smooth, long 30 sec finish, nothing stood out but everything was in perfect balance. This could hold for a few more years at least. I believe a 93 is the max for what this wine could ever offer...impressive
Young, intense red fruit: cherry, plums, spicy, a bit hot. High acid, very intense, long, sweet finish. Try again in a year or two. More Russian River than Burgundy. Nice though.

This was a wonderful wine and my last two bottles. As most 2006 vintage Pinot Noirs it is very approachable with lots of fruit. This one is well balanced with excellent soft tannins. Raspberry, pepper, vanilla, sweet peppers and other fruit flavors. The wine went well with out steak, baked potato, tomato salad dinner and with chocolate cookies afterward. My children, my son's father in law and I enjoyed this wine immensely. I wish I had more. I think it is good for several more years.
