  Medium-deep garnet in color with some clearing at the edges. Full, forward & attractive nose of ripe fruit aromas of cherries, strawberries & plums with overtones of spices notes of cloves, herbs, earthy/dusty, minerals & a hint of vanilla in the background. Medium bodied with a very good concentration of well balanced & smooth textured, ripe fruit flavors of cherries, strawberries & raspberries with spices, cherry-cola, herbs, earthy, minerals & some vanilla. Long lingering finish. Drinks quite well at present & at 12 years of age, it may be at or close to its peak of development. I doubt any further development would occur from further aging.

  Alone: hot, boisterous, and voluptuously ripe. Not great.
  
  With fennel rubbed pork tenderloin: the most incredibly complementary sauce. 92 with the pork.

  Maybe the best California Pinot I've had. It had the secret Pinot ingredient: dirt!

  Medium ruby. Medium body with sweet cherry fruit. A bit fat and hot. Short finish.
