Really liked this wine. Probably the best pinot that I have tasted. Complex nose that went beyond typical domestic pinots. Ripe red fruit, a little chocolate on the nose. Wonderful on the palate as well. Tannins and acidity were well-resolved. Probably could have cellared this for another 5 years, but it is drinking beautifully right now.

Let there be no mistake, this is a big, borderline sweet California pinot. For what it is, it's also quite delicious. Still tons of fruit.

No formal notes. Very consistent with the Wine Spectator review. Earth and game notes much more prominent than the fruit. Best with food in my view.
