  Black in color. Blackberry on the nose. Decent palate of sour cherry, raspberry and earth. Nice with poached salmon w/mustard-dill sauce

  Raspberries on the nose, strawberries, raspberries, oak, and vanilla with spice on the end. Pretty standard ripe/non tart Pinot with great balance and silky smooth mouth feel. A little redundant for the price but acidity was not necessarily lacking for me in this bottle.

  Nice, intriguing aromatics but this wine was overtly sweet on the attack and devoid of any noticeable acidity/mid-palate. It tasted much more like the over-ripe wines of Santa Lucia than anything from a cold climate AVA. Perplexing?

  weighty and dark but lacks a little liveliness. Mostly straightforward black fruits and plummy notes with hints of oak but lacking some complexity and pure Pinot Noir character.

  Seeing only two previous notes on this bottle I would have to agree with rogerr, as the two notes seem to be in different directions. Would like to know hollandk's impressions as to why he/she felt it was an 84. Not trying to call anyone out, just curious for the input. I found deep berry and and richness all around. While it did get better with air, it still has a touch of heat on it. Even on day two there was a tad bit of heat. I am sure as this gets some time in the bottle the heat will be gone, but an all around nice wine and worth a revisit in 6 to 12 months.
