Note di degustazione
(13.7% alcohol; 3.68 pH): Medium amber-red. Greener on the nose than virtually all of the preceding vintages, conveying an impression of musky fresh herbs and cilantro. Shows decent concentration but also a slight green streak and edgy acidity throughout. Finishes a bit austere and short, with notes of crushed parsley and cilantro. This slightly high-toned wine is losing its fruit.

Medium red. Nuanced nose combines red cherry, raspberry, cinnamon and tarry, smoky oak. Quite uncompromisingly dry yet lush, silky and rich. Sappy, intense flavors of red berries and white pepper. At once pretty and substantial; this offers uncommon finesse for a California pinot. Very long finish features spicy red berries and firm but light tannins.
