Pronounced smoky note to this. Garnet coloring, translucent, but some real char/tar on the nose. Was distinct though intense. A nice pinot, actually probably liked it better on night #2 when it had settled a bit. However, in contrast, had a pour from a friend's '09 a few days later and the '09 is a whole notch better. more complete with a bit more fruit and punch. Still give Sonoma Co. botting high QPR marks.

A little underwhelming. Wanted more aromatics and pinot signature. This was on the tart/mineral side. With air started to get there, but not until the meal was done! Served with the main event at Thanksgiving. Did do well with the wild rice stuffing and various cranberry treatments.

Last bottle. Dark cherry, earth, spice. Good acidity on the midpalate and finish (although this has dimished with age).

Very nice aromatics and a light bodied pleasant pinot with a short finish. Solid entry level pinot.
