It was just ok. Not much fruit. Just a tad earthy. Not a whole lot there. Very familiar with the area. Bought at the winery and stored in my cellar until now. Was hoping for more.

Still singing, beautiful ruby color with very little Rim variation. Opaque in the center. Bouquet of cherry, a bit of spice(like cinnamon or something of that nature) and a touch of smoke and sweet tobacco. VERY smooth mouthfeel with moderate plus acidity pushing this through to a clean, lengthy finish. Can hold 5+(?) years arc th is rate. Absolutely love the ‘12 vintage

Haven't had a rastaban Pinot in a while, this has a really dark also Syrah esq colour, nice herbal note, with florals, clove, dark red berry and perfume on the nose, bit of a more candied /extract feel to the fruit on the palate but has nice grip and acidity with a touch of bitterness on the medium length finish
