The nose is irrevocably pinot noir, with just a tad too much oak on the finish for my taste. The palate is also still very fruity, with notes of cocoa on the finish and again just a tad of pesky oak that sticks out. Great cali pinot but could have used and slightly subtler hand with the oak treatment. Still has plenty of longevity in the cellar though.

Just a beautiful Cali Pinot Noir, and really drinking well right now, though I don't think there's any rush to drink it. Well balanced, lovely fruit. A wonderful expression of what Pinot Noir can taste like in California. 90-91

Attractive if a bit simple.
