This wine is nowhere near ready. Decanted for an hour and a half, the fruit is still buried under the earth and the nuance is still coiled up tight. I'm going to try it again today, but I have a feeling I opened this about five years too early.

This wine was fabulous at dinner the other night. Really brimming with that tart mountain fruit and definitely right in between losing that fruit and turning over into the more secondary flavors. A very good pinot indicative of what Santa Cruz is all about.

Solid everyday drinking wine and a bargain at the price. Good red fruit on the nose and on the palate along with some mineral highlights and a little pepper. Much more depth than your average $10 Southern Rhone option. I would stock up.
