Popped a magnum on Thanksgiving with some worry that we might have held it too long. Incorrect. It was spectacular immediately on opening, but improved with full color and fruit without need of a decant.
Cannot say enough about the quality of the pinot, one of the best we have had in years and was a perfect partner to turkey and all the fixings.

Medium dark cherry coloring with a bright red edge. The nose burst with red cherry notes, followed by some strawberry. Some red licorice and a hint of earthiness (no burgandian funk). Amazingly smooth and seems to get better with age. (only 1 bottle left).

Drank alongside a bunch of other CA pinots. Surprisingly and shockingly good. Great fruit, nose, color. Nothing seemed out of balance.
