My last of three and I believe the best bottle. The nose is floral with earth, pepper and tobacco notes. lots of bright fruit on the palate and still firm but sweet tannin. I would say it is at peak. Great with grilled king salmon.

Good cherry and red raspberry fruit. A little bit of the Russian River soil and a pleasant oak on the finish. Simple and well made. Nothing that stands out, but no flaws either.

i hate to give this wine a low score (relative of course). i dont know if i paired it wrong or just didnt give it enough time to open up or if ive opened it too soon. 99 out of 100 times this producer would rate over 90 points for me. just wasnt wowed like i normally am. i have a few bottles left so i can hopefully reserve total judgment in the years to come.

Delicious after an hour breathing in the bottle. Plenty of life despite the age. Fruit (dark cherry, cola, cocoa) vanilla, good acid, some mineral.

Excellent mature pinot drank with grilled salmon. Still had enough tannic backbone to go a few more years.
