  May 6, 2010 - very nice. Cherry on the palate and a nice long vanilla finish. I have been drinking a lot of pinots lately and this one stood out very well. At 5 years ols, it is drinking nice, may hold the last one for a little more and see how it ages. If you have several, I recommend cracking one. This one did not need a lot of open time to drink nice.

  February 1, 2008 - Thick with dark cherry on the nose. Hints of cedar and oak but overly integrated. A trademark Cali style pinot but lacks depth at this point. The fullness of this wine suggests to me that its still young. Its was still fun to drink and you get the feeling that once it comes into balance it could be something substantial.

  April 6, 2007 - Semi-transparent ruby color in the glass with nice legs. Cherry nose. Sweet red cherry fruit upfront w/ vanilla & velvet in a long finish. This is a very good pinot for a little bit of completixy but not much...right up my alley.

  February 23, 2007 - Beautiful semi-transparent garnet / ruby color with good looking legs. Brandied cherry nose. Young bing cherry upfront w/ spicey cedar finish w/ medium tanin. Wine is a little young right now but has the right balance of complexity for me in a pinot.
