Strawberries, black pepper, plums, and leather make up the nose of this pinot. There is still quite a bit of alcohol on the palate. I would have expected the wine to be a bit smoother. The finish has more residual sugar than I would like in a pinot -- it's odd. If it gets better as it opens up, I will revise my tasting notes.

Club shipment and personally I think this is the peak year for the wine. The fruit is nice, the finish soft and it has the slight Carneros funk to it. I would say if you have it, drink this year.
