Couple of hours in. Nice color, bit dark for a Pinot, showing it's Sonoma Cali roots. Meaty, spiced jam, bramble. Great nose. Acids, oak, fruit all balanced, harmonious, drinking perfectly, with life ahead. I dont think this gets better, just different. This is meaty, fruit fillls the palate, then some nice structure and balance cleans the palate. I am not a big Pinot guy, but this is a nice wine and nice change of pace. Finish is clean, crisps and lingers. Cherry cola goes on & on.

Similar note as previous, but black cherry did come through at points in time.

Nice wine, but alcohol is a tad out of control.

Nice well balanced. Mostly strawberry pie. Very good but one dimensional. Silky mouth feel and refined tannins. Short to Mid length finish.
