I'm sure TRAVOWENS is right about their bottle being flawed. This was terrific+! Burgundy color, muddled fruit, dark cherry, tastes mature but not old. Elegant. Drinking beautifully today. Ready to drink on PnP. Decanting is not necessary and serve around 60 degrees.

Tasted a bit flat. Better after decanting or leaving open for a while. May be bad or stored improperly. Smell of cedar and dark cherry. Alcohol up front but light backend with notes of cedar

Decanted for 30 minutes. Fully opened. Taste the same as last bottle, which is to say, perfectly balanced pinot with lots of red fruit, moderate acid and tannin. Only regret is that was my last bottIe. Wish I had another case in my cellar (yes, I am greedy).

Aerated and decanted for 30 minutes. Fully opened at that point. Nice mix of red fruit, especially cherry, moderate tannin and acid. More restrained than a typical California pinot noir. Just as good as at Benovia last fall. My only regret is only buying two bottles. Great value given the price.

Lovely wine. Bright cherry color. Light red fruit flavors on the nose and palate. The wine is delicate and lovely. Even though it's young, it's absolutely drinkable now. I can't wait to see how it ages.
