Deeper color than I typically like in a Pinot Noir, more like a Zin or Sangiovese. Very fruity and grapey with moderate, well-integrated tannin and oak. A very sunny Pinot, lush and fruity but without a lot of depth or complexity. And too grapey for my tastes.

Bought this when we got engaged in Nappa. Kept it for 10 years. Amazing to drink on our 10 year anniversary. Awesome wine.
