I've been drinking a case if this particular vintage over the past 3 years. Its at its peak drinkability now (12/2009). This is a very nice Carneros Pinot with rich, ripe fruits well-balanced against oak and tannins. Dense and smooth. Pairs perfectly with grilled Pacific salmon. A very nice wine.

A wine that is clearly nowhere near worth the $40 asking price. Nice color, but it had average body, and lacked structure and complexity. From the nose there was some spices and cherry notes and the palate was pretty much the same. Not something I think will age well. Drink now to 2009.

Excellent pinot. Decanted for an hour. Very smooth and good flavors. Nice body for a pinot. Not too light with some good fruit flavor. Very enjoyable.

Someone brought this to a dinner last night. Ripe, plump fruit that seemed somewhat thin in the middle. Ends with an OK finish. Good.
