IPNC Weekend 2018; 7/26/2018-8/2/2018 (Linfield College, McMinnville, OR): Medium dark red color. Drank a glass over 20 minutes. This was one of the library wines at the salmon bake. Have not had a Mondavi pinot in some time, in fact maybe never other than at the winery. This was a pleasant surprise. In good shape, nice big dark berry fruits, boysenberry, blackberry, and dark cherries, spicy, some warmth but not in a bad way, sauvage,

Similar to my notes last time -- a heavier fruit-forward (cherry) pinot which held up well to a hearty dish. This improved with air, so I don't see this falling off a cliff anytime soon. Tasty!

Unbelievable 4 years after "drink by" date. Still smooth and comparable to wines costing much more.
