- Garnet color. It's balanced and has flavours of cherry, black pepper and smokey with a medium/full body. Round texture with a medium finish - Decanted 2 hours - even after being decanted this is still a bit of a brut the tannins are still a bit over pronounced at this point but there is enough fruit and acidity here to reign it in. This one needs another year or a long decant.

Jingram nailed it
A year later and it has softened considerably
Right out of the bottle, good. Decanted for 30 min and wow
A really nice Pinot...

Livermore: The Day Before The Storm; 9/3/2011-9/4/2011 (Livermore, California.): $48. Fruity nose, good finish, but missing complexity. Good+.
