Nice cherry flavor, slight cola taste, little hot. Probably could use one more year or extended decanting. Tasted amazing in St. Helena tasting room and was not a disappointment, but not yet in class of more recent, excellent pinot noirs.

Quite distinctive from Oregon Pinot opened alongside. Nice smoke feel, denser, more aggressive. No decanting straight.
