Another bottle from the cellar! Amazing how this wine continues to stand the test of time!!!!! Drank this over two weekends in June. Dark fruits were on the front while hints of strawberry raspberry still danced in my glass. The tannin's were gone. However, the wine still had some structure. All in all a good example of well aged Pinot from Carneros. Drank three bottles of this over the past couple of years. Wish I had another one....

Darker garnet. Seems to be on the backside of the drinking window, still elegantly weighted, now showing more dusty dark fruits and hints of raisins. tannins have mellowed out nearly completely, and wine falls apart rather quickly after opening. Very nice in its prime, interesting at this age, but not at its best.

My last bottle.....have enjoyed the case (very good and good value), but believe the wine has tired a little.
