88 Points

Saturday, September 26, 2015 - When I reviewed this wine about a yar ago, I was pretty ctirical and unkind. There was fruity potential, but things had not evolved harmoniouisly yet. An extra year of bottle age has really helped integrate tings. Now this is a solid 88+ Pinot that is more or less exactly what we have come to like with decent California style Pinot. It displays that Monterrey, cool climate with big sunshine ripeness with plenty of barnyar and, mushroom farm aromas and flavors. Not overtly fruity. Spicy. The tannins have really settled in over the past year. Nicely integrated oak. Cherry, berry, licorice and still pretty big acid on the finish.
