Emeritus 2011 is aromatic, full nose, blackberry finish. Wonderful, would recommend.

This is not a good wine. 8 years should not be too long for quality made wine. Over done wines just don't hold up. Flabby and sickly.

Lovely Russian River Valley Pinot Noir. Dark Cherry and cola/cream soda on the nose and pallet. Hint of tobacco. Extremely smooth tannins and long finish. Well made.
