Purchased at release, this has held up well. I suspect it may have been acidified, because it has a bit of that cherry SweeTart character to it, but I still appreciate the bright, fresh character. Bursts with raspberry fruit, with hints of underbrush and flowers. A lively, easy drinking and enjoyable wine that was still going strong on day 2.

Very nice and surprisingly young Pinot. Lots of the dark fruit and spice that was there when younger. Minerality on finish and acidity were good. There is still some life in it. Wish I had another to try in a few years.

Crimson-purple in color, with aromas of tart red fruit and dried flowers. The palate shows light cranberry and cherry fruit, with hints of black tea and tangerine. Medium-bodied, with a streak of mineral on the finish.

Drank alongside the '08, I give a slight preference to the younger sibling. Bright red raspberry and cherry fruit flavors with good length.

Wonderful bottle from this team. Shows what time can do for these wines. Very good balance and complexity. (91)
