  Probably a little past it's drinking period. Was light and fruit was past prime. Had had this a year or so ago and it was better.

  Fine. Not remarkable, but not bad.

  Full fruited and big on the palate, with Pinot spice across the palate. Big wine here, but not overdone, holds itself nicely. The oak could resolve out a little bit but hey, its 2008. Works at $24.
  
  Bill Foley apperently owns 55% of all of Santa Rita Hills Vineyards. Not sure what that is saying exactly.

  Dark in color for Pinot. Cherry flavors and fruit forward. Had at Sutro's in Cliff House, San Francisco.

  Cherry, blueberry. A lot of fruit but somehow restrained and balanced. Seamless acidity and a touch of tannin and earthiness. I'm taken by this although I don't think this fits the typical Pinot Noir profile. It is also much more opaque than most Pinot Noirs.
