This one is ready now, although I think it could still improve a bit. I bought two bottles of this maybe 5 years ago and just decided to open the first. It's a nice complex Bordeux-style red, and satisfies in every way you would expect a fine Bordeaux to.

This was a very pleasant pinot noir, nothing amazing, but strikes a nice balance between the really fruity pinots and the really acidic ones. It represents Russian River Valley well, and at this price point, it's nice to have a balanced PN.

We drank a bottle of this with Thanksgiving dinner, and we all thought it paired excellently with turkey. Cranberry notes are especially appropriat in that context. A bit heavier and darker than most Syrahs I drink, but very pleasing.
