Decanted for about ah hour. Dark color with pleasant fruit aroma. Dark chocolate on the palate and finishes with elegant tennins. Not bad, but quite different from what I had expected from a Pinot. Certainly a big wine, probably still too young.

Little odd in that it is pretty big on the front, but lacks the major finish of my favorite Cali pinots. I like it, but certainly not at the original price. The first bottle drank more like what I expect from Santa Rita, tasting like the surrounding vineyards, while the second, drank about a month later had the characteristics that I am describing here.

From a magnum. Still young. If you need to drink now, make sure to go be it plenty of air.
