Tightly wound at first, this opened nicely with 30m in a decanter. Great body, acid, and finish, if entirely nondescript - a lush, expected showing of red fruits.

Darker in color... richer in taste... higher in ABV than normal— reflecting the warmth of the vintage. Bright sour cherry notes with nice mid - weight palate. I do love the style, but prefer 2011 and 2013. Decent Valentine quaff with Squab and Filet.

Disintegrated cork, but lovely juice.

Rounding into shape nicely. Pomegranate, tart cherry and forest floor. My favorite CA Pinot bottling in most vintages

Marvelous balance on this wine... beautiful lifted notes of spring strawberry and cherry on the nose. Like drinking silk... smooth, effortless, bright with an acid/ fruit balance that makes me want more; and more. These guys are making one of sonoma's most enjoyable pinots.
