Bottle was in perfect condition with brand new looking cork. PnP. Burgundian style nose with lots of sous bois. No significant oak on the nose which I liked. ABV 14.5% but doesn't feel much sign of heat although showing concentration and hint of ripe red/blue fruits. Great balance with adequate acidity and secondary characters. Very easy to swallow. Unexpectedly good for CA pinot.

PnP. Tried it due to low ABV on the label which is 12.5% but it felt much higher. Not enough acidity to balance the ripeness. There is definitely a ripeness but no concentration nor complexity. It is also quite bitter. It reminded me a Rhone blanc in a sense.

PoP. What a surprize! If I had this blind, I would probably guessed it a well aged ripe vintage burgundy. It has a hint of cola, but not sweet at all, sous bois, full of secondary characters from well made burgundy. Listed 14% ABV but doesn't feel any heat. I like it. Wish I have more.
