Again, highly elevated VA makes this near-impossible to drink, much less enjoy. High alcohol also doesn't help. I think this is a good example of a high octane, bombastic CA Pinot that is not meant to age.

Took this bottle to Hawaii and drank at an Italian restaurant. Not decanted. Bigger and darker notes than I remember. Not the style that I prefer and not as good as the first bottle. 88 points.

A little too much VA to enjoy. Burning sensation when sipping. Not overwhelming, but made it difficult to drink.

Opened by Vino Me at South Haven. I'm a big fan of this vineyard. Raspberry and red fruits.

My last bottle. Similar notes as when I first had this in 2009. Rich and well structured. 90 points.
