Pnp. at restaurant, non Pinot stems. A little brown/orange hue. Big ol bowl of cherries in your face on first impression. Softened up over the course of dinner. Some earth n spice, but not too complex. No major flaws, but not a stunner either.

Past its prime in late '17, but still quite delightful. Very much has that "green" (in a good way - I need a better descriptor of the freshness) character of Keefer Ranch. Getting to be a little lumbering and lugubrious relative to what I imagine was a more lively and zesty youth, but it's great to encounter the secondary characteristics of Keefer Ranch - gets sharper, even, retains the initial edge even if the body doesn't hold up as much. So glad to have this wine.

Really bright cheries and raspberries finishes with a long deep stone fruit with a hint of mint.

Nice, but very light. Strawberry and sweetness.
