I was very pleasantly surprised by this bottle, I had expected it to be a bit past its prime, but it was still quite delightful. It had a nice garnet color and a slight sulphuric nose which disappeared after an hour or breathing. It still had a surprising amount of fruit and delightfully fresh taste. Perfectly smooth and enjoyable, though not much of a finish. This was a great bottle of wine with grilled pork chops.

Perfectly delightful pinot, though arguably past its prime. Crystal clear dark ruby to garnet color. Light on the nose and relatively short on the finish. Seemed to open up well after 20-30 minutes. Well received by the group.

Not normally a fan of CA Pinot (Calera excepted) but this one was a delightful exception. Nice fruit, but not one dimensional; good earthy complexity.
