dark black ruby w/ faint browning at edge;clean reticent oxidation-free blackberry nose; surprisingly opens up on the palate w/ deep black fruit on a spicy alcoholic tannic spine; no hurry on my last bottle.

One of the best if not the best California Pinot Noirs that I have had. Deep, extracted ruby color without a hint of fading or browning around the edges. I think that it has quite a few years in fromt of it before it will fade. I agree that this wine could be mistaken for a fine grand cru Brugundy.

Exploding with red berries, red flowers, clove, and earthy undertones both on nose and palate.
Has not faded at all.

Deep rich color but nasty garbage aftertaste. Flawed.
