Amazing how well this wine holds up after 11 years. Ready to drink , good fruit, cinnamon, assertive distinctive flavor as always. I M certain this wine could continue to stay its present signature flavor another 5 years EASILY, if not 10

Still drinking well. On the palate, the fruit is definitely starting to soften but it's integrating so nicely. Still plenty of acidity and structure. In fact, the finish is med-long and just a delight to enjoy as the different layers are exposed. This should probably be consumed in the next 2-3 years for maximum enjoyment; I find the 2012s from CA are generally more youthful, so drink the '13s first.

Drinking so well. This wine was incredibly fresh and lively, with a gorgeous bouquet on the nose and depth of flavor on the palate. Almost more weighty than a typical Pinot from this producer.

Still solid but seemingly at the back end of its peak window.
