  Tasting extremely good right now !! I agree with my previous tasting notes. Sadly, this was my last bottle of this vintage. The cork was dry after over a decade in the bottle, but I managed to extract completely. Consumed over two days, showing well both days. Aromas of red raspberry and pomegranate, flavors of red fruit compote, rhubarb, and marine soil with a medium to long finish. A balanced and flavorful Pinot Noir from Cargasachi Vineyard in the Santa Barbara County. The acidity of this wine makes it age worthy and has more years of life left. A great fruit source from a fabled vineyard in Santa Rita Hills and a great winemaking effort from Adam Lee and Ryan Zepaltas.

  Tasting really good right now !! Perfect cork after a decade in the bottle. Consumed over two days. As always, this balanced wine showed more fruit on the first day albeit a little tart at first. Fortunately after an hour this wine really started to shine. On day two this balanced wine had softened with increased depth and integrated complexity. Deep ruby color with no oxidation, clarity medium. Aromas of pomegranate and cranberry. Flavors of bing cherry, raspberry, and black tea with a hint of marine minerality. This Pinot Noir has a medium to long finish. A balanced and flavorful Pinot Noir from Cargasachi Vineyard. The acidity of this wine makes it age worthy and has more years of life left. A great fruit source from a fabled vineyard in Santa Rita Hills and a great winemaking effort from Adam Lee and Ryan Zepaltas.

  Perfect cork after a decade in the bottle. Consumed over two days, fruit more predominant on the first day. Softened depth and integrated complexity on day two. Deep ruby color with little to no oxidation, clarity medium. Aromas of cranberry, rhubarb, and fresh black cherries. Flavors of bing cherry, raspberry, and strawberry compote with a medium to long finish. A balanced and flavorful Pinot Noir from a fabled vineyard in the Santa Rita Hills. This age worthy wine may have more years of life left. Great fruit and a very good effort.

  My previous note still applies, but everything is down a notch or two. Still a very lovely wine that is in its waning days. Drink by 2016.

  Earthy and spicy. Very dark and brooding for a pinot. Soft tannins with a medium finish.
