January 7, 2024 - My score may actually be too low! This wine is still standing! A California pinot noir after 15 years....WOW! The dark cherry flavors were still there, the mellow, silky body was still there, I am impressed. Fess Parker, is a vineyard that everyone should try! I have had several wines (this one being the oldest I have held), and I have no complaints. I wish I had one or 2 bottles more just to measure the life of this wine. It was drinking very well today!

August 25, 2013 - Easy drinking wine. Bright, fruity nose. Spicy, sour cherry, and of course earthy. Will hold the 2nd bottle to taste in a few years. Very nice.
