Just a super showing. The more I drink rich, well made pinot's from 2003 Cali, the more I realize that they are in general improving very much. This bottle was great, right from the pop. Showing deep dark mature fruit, with dark berries, a touch of cherries (but a bit stewed) with some pomogranate in the finish. I really wish I had more -but alas, this was my last bottle. Day 2 - Came back to finish this bottle, and it was even better. on the dense side for a pinot, with very nice piney notes to add to the previous dark berry profile. I bit big, but I really like the cherry liquour with the pine and earthy notes, just a super bottle

Montage tasting. Gary Franscioni and Gary Pisoni. Heavy handed. Not Pinot. I guess syrah. Not a fan of this style.
