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

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.
