Opened for 2020 Pinot Noir Day....who knew! Clear, medium intense garnet appearance. Nose is clean, medium intense aromas of red cherries soaked in kirsch, still a little alcohol which blows off. Palate is dry, medium acid and alcohol, medium (-) tannins. More black cherry and spices on the palate with a long finish. Very good, drink now.

Another bottle, another 96... what a beauty! Gorgeous nose, maybe a touch of bricking in the color? Big mouthful of black cherry and a hint of licorice, smooth as silk. This is CA Pinot Noir at it's best. PS: Top of its game after 90 minutes, clearly fading at three hours.

Wonderful. Roses and sandalwood on the nose. Age has evolved the cherry cola into soft mocha on hint of sour cherry, thyme, and light finish. Enjoy.

Fully integrated at this stage. Nose of rose, sage, lavender, and slight tobacco leaf. Bold berry with cherry undertones. Enjoy.
