September 21, 2015 - One of the few times we disagree. She thought it WAY too fruity, cloyingly so. While I agree it's rather ripe, and certainly not what I look for in a Pinot (or even varietally typical), I thought it had some other interesting things going on. Some savory, spicy, leathery touches hiding in the background. Decent balance too. I think this has enough structure that if left in cellar for 10 years it could turn into a stunner.

We opened our one bottle now, hope you have more, would prove her wrong. We have had a lot of luck letting wine breathe 3-5 hours, as we did with this, but we had a slightly-flawed bottle that was still quite good.

We went through Monterey County in fall 2014 and Boekenoogan was one of our favorites too.
