  Brought to a tasting. Wine was oxidized due to extremely spongy cork.

  Only medium red with thin mahoganey edge. Leather, undergrowth, licorice nose. Palate has sour cherry, brown sugar. It is maturing, light bodied, clean, crisp and with a mineral aspect
  and with balance to the fine tannin. Of course, I like this. This improved with time open. Average yield for Ryan is 1.68 tons per acre and this vintage yield is 2.3.

  drinking well, it doesn't seem to have faded with time in the way many CA pinots do, though it could have used a bit more energy....the structure came more by way of tannin than acid, the fruit had earthy elements, but not a great deal of complexity

  Took a little while to open up, but excellent along the way. Still structured and layered noticeable tannin. The nose is sweet and fragrant with notes of leather and flowers. Minerally on the palate with notes of cola and bright darker fruits. Medium in body and delicious.
