I don’t recall purchasing this wine, but - per the magic of Cellartracker - looks like I picked this up several years ago for a song ($17)
Notes from day 2: Still has grip and plenty of fruit, with great spice (clove & cinnamon) to compliment the strawberry and darker plum notes. Was distracted night one, but it couldn’t have been this good. A 9 year old pinot from Santa Maria that’s still going strong on day 2...for less than 20 bones? No complaints.

A quality Santa Maria Valley Pinot. The nose shows plenty of dark berries and spice, especially cloves; all of which are matched on the palate with a nice splash of tart cherries. The tight acidity and soft, subtle tannins balance this gem out nicely.

Pinot Noir is not my favorite, but this was quite good. Smooth. Ripe fruit. Nice level of tannins.

Dark fruits and a touch of minerality on the nose. Big for a pinot. Medium plus body, rich dark fruits a earth on the palate. 90 points

Lost a bit but still solid. Love the dark fruit profile.
