From magnum and tried to pair it with food to go with it un-Pinot like flavor extraction and enjoyed it more than the prior bottles. Also time has appeared to smoothed out the edges.

Popped and poured. Generic Bordeaux glasses at a restaurant.
This is why I age Setem’s (and others) Sonoma coast Pinot. Gorgeous cherry with black tea, saline, and faded musty faint leather. Great acidity. Terrific showing. Glad I have more.

This was probably close to a superb wine at its peak, and it's still quite excellent on a gracefully aging downslope. Big flavor, certainly, with lots of fruit still showing, but alongside a legitimate darker, spicier, secondary complexity that really completes the package. Texture and palate are middle weight, not ungainly. Better immediately on opening than after the first hour, but no further falloff on Day 2. Drink now.

Much better than the previous bottle. Good amount of fruit with that classic sour finish from the sonoma coast.

A tad simple and a touch sweet. Otherwise, a good Pinot. Not much on the complexity side.
