First few bottles at release were young and exuberant; a subsequent bottle or two seemed closed. This latest bottle is showing well, that this wine is definitely tracking upward. I can't wait to check back in a year if I can wait that long. Brilliant hues, at first dusty and earthy, blowing off to hints of cola and spice, and to finally a very satisfying berry quality. This is an excellent California Pinot.

Decanted for one hour. A whiff upon opening: very earthy...a veritable haze of dusty smoke, which blew off to prune, then plum, and finally rhubarb. Thin mouthfeel; slightly acidic on the front end, berries on the finish. I like this wine...it is not ordinary, but in a very good way.

Decanted for one hour. Poured bright ruby-red and translucent. Cherries on the nose; Pleasing oak/tobacco with berries; balanced tannins/acidity. For the price, a nice bottle of wine.
