Aerated and decanted. Almost purple fast legs no sediment. Might be past its prime the last 2013 we had a year ago was awesome, this has a slight bite. Medium body blackberry cherry oak plum dry very slight touch acidic smooth

Finally got to this after 7 years in the box. Required decanting which is not the way I like my pinots. Deep, rich, very extracted, inky. Dark fruits, pepper, tar. Monolithic. I would be very hard pressed to even guess this was pinot noir, but perhaps this is the style from that part of California. Not much to recommend and not my thing. The wax closure is probably the best part.

Sweet, still good but sweet fruit forward with little body, and low tannin and acidity

For any taste, the wine improved from 91 to 92 after some exposure to air.
