Surprisingly still very good. Stored at the winery since release. Pomegranate color with notes of cranberry, fig, hoisin, and strawberry. Very Burgundian in body and color (reminds me of fine beaune or Marsannay) the palate falls a bit short but good to see some Santa Barbara county fruit is still alive in a Carmel valley bottle of wine

Truly a pedestrian Pinot, there is a lot of tart cranberry, but great pairing with a juicy steak!
