  Fun day at the dentist! This made it all better! Drinking well now. Clearly Californian. Nice fruit, moderate intensity , clean finish of raspberry, hint of vanilla, and black cherry.

  A complete wine with deep, dark but not over the top fruit, medium body, lovely aromatics and mouthfeel. A wonderful wine that enriches a meal but can be tasted while the meal is still cooking. Delicious! One of my all time favorite pinot noirs.

  Opened this on the heels of an '09 AP Garys' purchased from the same source. Both had an obvious spritz to them. This vintage's blew off more quickly, but it was still really distracting. The underlying juice was good to drink, but the overall wine was essentially flawed. No clue what to chalk it up to, but definitely wouldn't purchase either vintage again based on this pattern.

  Cherry, black cherry and pomegranate fruit. Purple color, good mouth feel. Some leather and earthiness with subtle oak finish. Good not great.
  
  8/31/2015 Really liked the mouth feel this time, very visceral. And some nice gravel notes on the finish. Otherwise, observations were similar to the last bottle.
  
  2/6/2018 Holding up well, still lots of good fruit. More dirt than gravel on the finish this time.

  Big fan of Santa Lucia but this wine was unmemorable. It had all the pieces, nice acidity, good ripe fruit but wasn't as refined or as integrated as I'd want.
