Found 1 bottle of this in my cellar, and I am quite impressed. Poured at 55F with no decanting. Coming alive in the glass very quickly Aromas and flavours of cherry, dried cherry with some strawberry. Touch of leather and incredibly well integrated tannins. Unbelievably smooth with a generous finish. Remarkably impressive, especially since when I last tried this approximately 9 years ago I was underwhelmed. Maybe I have changed, but this wine has evolved in a lovely way. Cheers to all who have this - enjoy!

A beautiful inviting nose of flowers and cherry leads way to an elegant tart cherry cough drop taste flavor profile with good length. Well made if a bit one dimensional.

Now hitting its stride. Beautiful nose, on the palate its now getting settled. darker fruits, but still somewhat subtle, but starting to open. showing very well but still not at prime.

One of the very few good American Pinot we recently had. Tasty straightforward fruit. One dimensional, though. Unsure whether it will pick more complexity/depth with aging.

Another great bottle, hasn't changed much in a year. So maybe it's at peak now. Fruit still very bright and fresh, very good finish.
