Sour cherry on the nose, notes of dark fruit on finish. It’s in fine shape although not sure any more time will tease anything further from it. Good quality California pinot, but lacks that delicate nature and finesse that is the style of the past few years from the top producers

Decant and returned to bottle 2 hours prior. Clean, med ruby/red. Big proper nose. Med body, lean/astringent, cola, red/black fruit profile, ideal integration, dryer than usual KB Pinot. Very long finish with some tartness. Nothing off, winery direct, $100

I prefer a more elegant French style. Nonetheless, the wine shows an interesting and very good version of a loud California cranberry/blueberry, lemon/grapefruit and spice pinot. Long finish of bright acidity. A full force CA pinot that has softened nicely in the cellar over the years.

Nicely balanced, with red cherry and cola flavors balancing sweet spice.
