Interesting wine. Bold flavor. A bit over oaked for my taste. Alcohol percent is 14.6 but I would have guessed even closer to 15. I found a bit out of balance to my personal taste for Pinot.
I’m not as experienced with central coast Pinot so perhaps that would explain why I’m not connecting with this wine.

Really enjoyed this wine. Deeper colored compared to most Pinot Noir. Complex and intense aroma. Very well balanced, with full body. Could stand up to a bit heavy meals than one would traditionally think for Pinot, but we drank late evening and it was great on its own.

Good wine. Wish I would have been in a position to have purchased more of this vintage at that point in my life.
