Really stellar with tons of freshness for its age. Lots ripe red fruit, cola, sage, tree bark. A tough of brighter raspberry and blood orange driven fruit freshness on the palate.
Drank with family, so not great notes — really amazing though.

This mature Pinot Noir really nailed it for me last night. I had made a slow cooked beef burgundy with some pretty depthy, earthy flavors and this wine was a perfect match. The pinot was really showing secondary flavors. I got eucalyptus, menthol, sage, and thyme on the nose with just a bit of red fruit. The palate was similar. The wine had plenty of acidity to work very well with food. In impressive RRV wine that aged gracefully and has plenty of life ahead for those that appreciate aged Cali Pinot. Delightful!

Still hanging in there, by a thread. With some fruit and layered complexity but definitely all softened with age.

Nice older mature pinot with lighter cherry and some cola overtones

I think mine was a little too old. Some liked it but I did not but maybe that is the taste of being very mature.
