Served blind. Immediately thought of Sonoma or Central Coast Pinot. Rich said it was Central Coast, which honed me into Santa Barbara. This wine was well-crafted and had the dark brooding fruit, savory, and dark earth profile that I associate with Domaine de la Cote, so I was able to hone in on the producer.
Always happy to try these wines. Thanks, Rich!

Brought to a summer evening tri-tip dinner. Still quite primary, but lovely drinking right now with a 3-hr decant earlier in the day. Super fragrant bouquet with loads of red fruit, baking spice, some mint, all stitched together by the maritime climate. Rich and balanced on the palette. This was singing 6 hours after opening. Yum.

Dull at opening. Per other reviews, perhaps this needs hours of air at this age.

Enjoyed with ham and credit on Easter Sunday. Bright cherry and cola notes with hints of ocean air. Nice finish - very smooth and approachable
