Good to drink now, at the peak of its age. Enjoyed it but won’t knock your socks off.

A chewy, earthy Pinot. Leather, plum, and cherry nose. Tastes of nice tannins and acidity. Red fruits and terroir on the tongue.

Not memorable. But smooooth and easy. Could drink everyday no prob, but isn't meaty enough for me.

Carneros variety... First Pinot I've liked on this trip. Lighter Pinot that would be that red to use rather than a white for poultry.
