This was good but I think my palate has moved on. If you like well made California PN this is a nice example. Cherry and cola notes, tannins resolved, a little flabby but not overly so. Definitely a good wine, just not my thing.

Last bottle and think we caught this on way down. Seems we just passed the peak window. Still good but drink up....
Previous Notes:
A touch better than the last bottle....actually surprised us how well it is drinking right now..... Previous Note: Hints of cinnamon and cherry. Dinner companions felt this was a step below the 2006 Domaine Serene. Might be in a better place now than from a few years ago.

Satiny texture, garnet color. Cherry fruit, quite a bit of baking spice. The warmth of that along with the mouthfeel contribute to a soft feeling that just sort of hugs you and then lingers. Didn't stand up so well to food, but very nice beforehand.
6/19/2023 Seems to be past its prime. Still has the cherry fruit and baking spices, but everything is muted. Still a nice wine, but not as noteworthy.

Tart but fruity on entry. Lingering finish. Definitely has a few years left in this vintage!
