Did a pop and pour. Aromas of burnt rubber, cherry, pomegranate and wiff of heat. Strange nose. Flavors of dried strawberry, dried cherry, hint of cinnamon mushroom and rhubarb. Ends with a 30+ second finish. Still tasting young and plenty of life left. Going to see if this nose blows off with some air.

the cork (on a lot of these older WS) fell apart, so consider an ah so; lovely nose of roses and complex red fruit; dark cherry, spice, a bit of sous bois/garrigue; silky but with adequate acidity; still has plenty of life-enuf fruit to stand up to BBQ veggies/pork loin

Pretty nose of crushed dark cherries and minerals. Quite lithe with good tangy cherry fruit and really excellent mineral crunch on the finish. This is so succulent with good grip and nice cherry/mineral complexity with a hint of sea salt. Very well done Sonoma Coast Pinot that is delicious now but will hold.

Still lots of life left in this wine. Big with lots of dark fruit.

Dark fruits. Nice acidity. One of our favorite WS wines. Good effort from a mediocre vintage.
