The only other note on this in CT is a score of 82. LOL This is one of my WOTY and the best CA Pinot I've had since the 1990 Morgan (Joe Davis wine) last year. Healthy, deep red color. Opens with aged pinot fragrance: wisps of decaying leaves, autumn, tea, dark fruit. Slow to emerge, every 10 minutes it opens a bit more to reveal lively cranberry/autumnal fruit with lively wisps of acid. We get some asian spice, mushroom and a cool mint note in the background. At 30 minutes it becomes the full package with a silky texture and a lively, round fruit that is persistent but weightless. I might think 25 year old Vosne blinded. Really special. Kudos Tom Dehlinger.
