August 18, 2017 - Night one this showed all dill and muted fruit. Night two this had more fruit. Not really my style and not ageing well
December 3, 2016 - PNP. Cork perfect, but broke. Color garnet w some bricking. Nose has some damp earth, rhubarb and cola. Swishing shows dense slightly stewed fruit and oak, with some acid but mostly tannin dominating the structure. Sipping shows its polish, with some tartness actually and weight. Very nice and improved with air.
January 30, 2015 - Super. Amazing with Italian. Perfect. Plenty of life left imo. The red fruit to dark fruit. Blackberry, plum. Little to no tannin.
January 9, 2013 - Wine is drinking wonderfully. Rave reception by all who partook.
May 12, 2012 - Surprised that it's drinking so well but it is.
March 12, 2012 - Gorgeous mature Meredith.
Restores my faith in CA PN going long-term.
Delicious earthy integrated.
January 16, 2012 - Fully mature with fruit way in the back. Very light on its feet with very pleasing acid/food profile.
Doubtful will benefit from any further aging (unless a mag).
Drinks beautifully.
December 31, 2011 - Popped and poured. Color dark garnet and not much change at edges. Nose shows dark cherry fruit and baking spice framed by toasted oak and a whiff of alcohol which evolves some cola notes with air. On palate this is fairly soft and svelte showing structure on the tail end. Mostly skin stem type tannin. This is still quite youthful and not showing any real signs of maturity. Should age for awhile
December 30, 2011 - A smooth and exceptional bottle of pinot. Had it with some friends at Tex Wasabi and it blended extremely well with our foods. It was smooth and supple and tasted like black cherries and strawberry. Really nicely layered with an incredibly smooth finish
January 31, 2011 - Like me: Full, rich and delicious.
Open for business.
