Clear ruby color. Clean aromas, light intensity. Notes of primary fig fruit with secondary tea leaf and allspice berry. Dry on the palate with medium acid, medium tannin and medium body. Nice flavor profile of fig & raspberry along with underlying earthy spice, however it loses steam on the palate, lacking presence on the mid-palate and depth on the finish. Not as I remembered it from last year.

Tried at trade tasting, then brought open bottle home. Tried over a couple of days. Nice garnet color. Good nose. Very well balanced Pinot. Medium finish. Highly recommend. Just got better over four days.

Russian River & Anderson Valleys, April 27; 5/16/2013-5/21/2013: Aromas of pine-forest & eucalyptus, with earth and dark berries. Earthy black cherry and fig fruit on the palate, with eastern spice and clove, and nicely integrated hints of cedar. Fine silky tannins and nice acidity. Good length on the finish. Much more savory than the 2009's- excellent.

Light aroma of sour cherry. Medium bodied with good balance of fruit, acid, and tannins.

Nothing going on in the nose. Palate is very nice, good fruit, pretty Anderson Valley-ish. Good acidity. Very pleasant drinking.

Superb but it's been over a week--so what he said!
