PnP, consumed over 2 hours. Appearance: Clear, medium garnet with slight edge bricking. Nose: Clean, medium intensity with developed aromas of dried cherry, cranberry, leather, cinnamon and a green note - broccoli. Palate: Dry, medium acid, tannins are still grippy - medium+, medium+ intensity - nice mid-palate lift, 13.2% abv, medium body with developed flavors of dried cherry, cranberry, and cinnamon with a medium+ finish. Excellent AV Pinot peaking at this moment. Drink now or over next 2 years.

A fairly stingy Pinot. Not showing much. Not an enjoyable wine to drink. Clumsy, poor balance, and a finish that was not what one could have hoped for. An off bottle?

Pop and pour, consumed over 3 hours. Nose: Medium intensity, dark fruit - blackberry and black cherry, hint of smokiness, and vanilla. Palate: Medium-full bodied, black cherry and raspberry attack, light spicy notes appear thru the mid-palate, nice mouth-feel, brush and stem notes join in the back-end and persist thru a medium (30-45 second) finish. My third of four bottles and the best performance yet, really enjoyed this $24 Sonoma Pinot.

Very nice nose. But, the wine had poor mouthfeel, and no balance. Felt quite acidic. Finish was dreadful. Perhaps a bad bottle? Very uninspired.
