Medium ruby with no browning at the edge. I would describe this wine as 'exhuberant,' but not big, or California Pinot-esque. Medium bodied with layers of flavors and nicely balanced. I wish I had more. No hurry here.

Handily beaten up by a 2008 WS RRV servied alongside. Darker, shorter, clipped finish (relative to the RRV). Pleasant enought, but not as interesting or pleasurable. Perhaps my experience was just overshadowed by the RRV.

(in magnum) still lots of fruit for this. A bit resinous in the onset but became a nice well rounded wine after an hour. Threw a bit of sediment in the end. Excited to see how other 2008's show!

Tasted blind at a picnic: pure, deeply dark fruited with a vegetal tone leaving half of us guessing Cabernet Sauv; solid wine but nothing characteristic of PN.
