  September 27, 2019 - Hmmm...what seemed to be a big, ripe, slightly extracted fruit bomb three plus years ago has morphed into something much more complex and notable, and now recognizable as a very good bottle of California Pinot Noir. The “baby fat” is gone, and this has settled down and shows lots of “middle age” maturity. Medium, clear ruby color, medium body and alcohol. Upfront aromatics and flavors of barnyard funk, decaying forest floor, dry cedar mulch, dirty red rocks, dried strawberry, tart raspberry, shriveled cherry, and ground all spice. Structure still notable, and will probably outlast the fruit. Super lengthy finish. Although I was unimpressed back in 2016, I knew this had lots of potential and patience has been rewarded. Enjoyed with baked pesto salmon.
