2003 Ampelos Fiddlestix Vyd PN. This is holding up better than I expected. Medium dark brick color. Aromas of cigar box, dark chocolate and plummy/prunes/Armagnac. Powerful enough for mild, grilled, Korean-marinated beef.

Fresh bright fruit, early to drink could use a good year in bottle but a fine example of the Santa Rita Hills AVA

Slightly peppery for a pinot, but paired well with dry-rubbed pork ribs.
