Interesting CA Pinot. This is Napa but not overly extracted or manipulated. I find it a leaner style even than many RRV pinots. Too bad ZD won't just let me have a few on the wine club.

Classic smooth Pinot nose - light berries. Decanted for about an hour before drinking. Smoky fruit at first which faded over time. Blueberry & raspberry concentration on the fore-palate. Finish is very fine. Still time left on this wine - no big hurry to drink it now!

Classic Pinot Noir. The fruit was balanced and consistent over two days. Two glasses one night and two the next with no loss or change in flavor. A bit pricey but the value was there for me. Enjoyable, high end, Pinot.

Some volatile acidity happening, a bottle that's not very old considering the winery and stature of this Pinot. Sad, super brown/purple color, balsamic sweetness. Oh well....moving on!
