May be past its prime. Cork was very wet. Not really much nose or palate versus what I remember. Not bad, just not remarkable as it usually is. Will see what the 3 remaining bottles hold.

Always great pinot and good value. Typical Carneros fruit, on the bigger side of pinot. Drinking well now - we were tasting with the wine maker and they had a bunch of 2006 available so we restocked the cellar.

Still an impressive wine. Lots of fruit, still high astringency, good legs and body. Raspberries, prunes and figs.

very nice, red fruit with some balanced tartness. Great Pinot for mid-$20s
