  Nice PN with some age, complex on nose and palate, earthy with balanced fruit remaining, lengthy finish. One more to go, but not for at least a couple of years.

  I had the opportunity to taste the 2007 Pinot Noir. Here are my notes:Initially the temperature was very cool. Menthol and licorice, oak and tobacco on the nose with a slight alcohol burn.
  Color: brick red
  taste:strawberry, violet, some tannins(well balanced), a little hot, good acidity.
  Initial impression is this pinot falls in the $40-$50 range. Very complex nose.
  
  Half an hour later, and some warming up I detect dark fruits/jam and chocolate nose. Maybe even a leather or coffee undertone(I can't decide which). Alcohol has blown off completely.
  taste: more cherry cola and berry, and the oak is very apparent. There is a vegetal undertone, like chewing on a leaf or piece of grass. There is still a soft tannin profile. Overall, a little heavier than I expect for a pinot, but not chewy. The finish is a lingering floral taste
  
  very nice

  Much improved on previou tastings. This thing has mellowed even more, letting fruits come to the fore. Tannins are in decline so still recommend drinking soon. But actually really nice!

  Better after a couple hours - albeit in a vaccuumed bottle stored in the fridge

  On the nose black fruit, plum, a bit of medicine cabinet, strong vanilla. Palette a bit narrow, focused on boysenberry, plum. Lacking a strong backbone of acidity - oak and fruit dominate let little else through. A bit fruity and chewy for my taste - from Carneros I prefer the lighter expresion of Molnr Family, where fruit is more subdued, oak less dominating and expression more playful, delicate. Will probably not improve - drink now.
