See previous notes. Darn good with 1 hour in the decanter. The more it opens the fruit comes out and the funky leather and brett die down. Great acidity and nice tannins on the finish. Its pretty much perfect for me right now. Drink up. Have 1 more bottle. I Will drink within the next year or two. Its still quite primary.

This wine is drinking really well right now. It smells of cherries and roses. Start with a cherry notes and finishes with some good evolving tannins. Drank this and 2012 side by side. The extra 5 years is quite evident. A local favorite for me. Estate Grown and Produced 4 miles from my house. 2007 was a spectacular year for our local Santa Cruz Mountains Pinot Noirs.
