  Medium garnet color. Nose of ripe red fruits, sweet spices, and vanilla.
  
  Ripe fruits continue onto the palate with notes of earth, and tobacco. Indisputably Californian but very well integrated and balanced. Medium + length finish. Drinking very nicely right now!

  The fruit has tamed down a bit and while I thought that would be a good thing, I am not quite sure. Don't get me wrong, this is still wonderful, but it lacks a tiny bit of intrigue compared to the last bottle. Maybe the difference between a second date and a third: still fun, but a little of the luster has worn off. thedrunkencyclist.com

  Showing more dark, dried fruit than when this wine was young. Showing some age. i would drink up in the next six months if this bottle is typical.

  Much bigger and bolder than I thought it would be. Dark color, rich deep red fruit. So big and rich that I wonder if there is not a touch of Syrah in here? Certainly a new world style of Pinot. Having said al of that, I really liked this wine. A lot. the big fruit was nicely balanced with the acidity, leading to an above average finish. Worked well with the spaghetti carbonara and on its own. thedrunkencyclist.com
