  Drinking very well right now. Fruit is well integrated with the earthiness and acidity. I wouldn't wait any longer as it doesn't seem like it could get any better.

  Waited too long to drink... thought it needed to decant, but even after an hour it was never quite what it should have been...

  Blind home wine tasting: I could hardly believe this was a Pinot. No violet and rose aromas - almost as though I was drinking a totally different wine to most of the other tasting notes. Maybe age has not treated it well. Initial acidity is strong and hot and one cannot get over this acidity - a few hours later the wine had softened to a good medium body in the mid palate but then goes hot acidity to finish. The wine is beginning to show a light brown complexion.

  This was an outstanding wine and one I wish I had more of. After some disappointing CA Pinots with a little age on them I was scared into open my last bottle of this. Still youthful but with some development, wonderful spice for a CA Pinot layered into some bramble and blueberry fruit. Perfect balance in the mouth: sweet fruit, wonderful spice, silky but firm. Terrific.

  Last tasted right after I purchased the wine upon release and I could not get by the acidity. fast forward 5 years and It is really beginning to integrate nicely. The acidity is still very snappy, I doubt that will ever diminish. However, the mid is entering into a secondary phase and wrapping itself around the structure. Fiddlestix always has that dusty, red fruit flavors reminiscent of Bien Nacido and this wine shows that side prominently. I would say this has a few more years to peak but it is worth a taste now.
