A Casual Back Porch Get-Together (Los Olivos, CA): Somewhat bland and undistinguished, perhaps due to age though I cannot be sure. The nose was enticing, with some smoke and spice that set up unfulfilled expectations, as the wine was flabby on the palate, to the point where it was hard for me to identify the variety.

The burnt hair and tar flavor was strong but did dissipate on day 3. I would swear this was blended with some other varietal.

Floral, mushroom, dusty nose. Currant, cranberry and smoky flavors. A BIG pinot but plenty of interesting flavors.
