This was really enjoyable throughout the evening and did not require a decant. Agreed about what others said about relatively lower acidity, but this worked quite brilliantly with a range of food of upscale regional Cantonese banquet with a lot of savory soy sauce and light spices with its fruit forward palate and nose. It worked with marinated goose breast, heavier flavored vegetables, and even pan fried noodles.

PDX nailed this at this stage. Faded fruits at this point - cranberry, raspberry - along with black tea on the nose and palate. A little fizzy and slightly metallic on the palate. Short, tart finish. Very little left here. Probably as good as it gets, especially for those who like "mature" Cali pinot. Drink up.

Left open without decant for an hour+. Cranberry, a little raspberry, black tea. Very mild oakiness. Medium acidity, tannins are subtle and integrated. Really enjoyable. Don’t think I’d hold these for much longer.

Opened not decanted. Sharp cherry attack on the entry; light to medium weight in body; dark cherry / red cherry notes on a semi dry finish. Good to Very Good.
