Still quite young and primary. Abundance of black fruits, some heat upfront and could use some more acidity, but a very nice and delectable Pinot. Better than most from California.

13.9% alcohol. Medium red cherry color. Impressive and soaring nose of black cherry, earth, mushrooms, and a floral note. In the mouth, vibrant and zesty, with juicy black cherry coating the palate before giving way to persistent complex notes of earth and mushroom. Lively acidity and a terrific, lengthy finish. Absolutely terrific, especially for the vintage. A

Wow. Certainly the best Sonoma Pinot I have had in a long time. It was extremely fresh and very pure. Clean red fruit. Medium/light body. Nice amount of acidity but not so much that you can’t drink this on its own. So good right now but it will probably be at least another 5 years to start showing more secondary qualities.

Drinking really well. Salinity and earth shine through. Forest floor essence and rhubarb. Drink up.

Still holding up with finish starting to fade as the last time I had this it was at Per Se with Ted and Heidi along with a number of his Library wines
