2009. Has aged nicely. Still some berry and fruit on front end. A bitter phenolic finish that died as it opened it. So give it time. Lots of alcohol still. Three sips in and feeling it. Threw some sediment off cork. Ripe and tart berries carry it onward. Acid has died off a bit. Overall very nice.

I remember very much enjoying this wine on release though a bit too intense at that young age. Now calmed slightly but still sappy cool climate Central Coast Pinot Noir flavors. Deep ruby in color, lovely acidity and balance. Save the next one for at least five more years.
