Tart upon opening, but fleshed out to reveal good depth and more balance than expected. Would have been better a year ago, but stood up to steak.

Too extracted for my aging palate. I thought it would have softened.

Delicious, a serious Pinot, a bit of honey and dark fruit, nice tannins, medium finish.

Too damn sweet and syrupy. Sure, it's good for CA/New World Pinot, but I don't care, I could be drinking a far better wine for $30.

Continues to be a very potent pinot. Strident, fist-shaking protestor advocating for more bottle time.
