Wow! 2010 Pinot totally shining. Wonderful balance. Red fruit and nice acidity to complement. Delicious. Chalone really leads in CA Pinot.

Solid Pinot. Clean and crisp. Tangy and plenty of red fruit.

This was supple and beautifully rounded. It felt a little like classical Chateauneuf meets Pinot Noir and has stood the test of time nicely - 1983

Bottle no. 73496.
Showing GREAT at age 14 and admittedly being a bit "necrophiliac" when it comes to Pinot Noir I think this can easily go another 10+ years before falling off.

A really solid, old school, Cali Pinot value that is certainly enjoyable, but I'm spoiled on Rivers-Marie. This just lacks the oomph factor by comparison.
