Still very vital. Spritzy fresh raspberry. On the palate more signs of age with a tart, clear midpalate and hints of mushroom. This has aged well without becoming profound

"Happy Happy, Joy Joy ! ",as Stimpy used to say! A 10 year old Pinot from the Sanford Benedict yineyard ! These grapes are rarely outsourced anymore , they've priced the grapes too high! Yet we are overjoyed at this aged beauty and once again say a hearty thank you for this excellent Pinot from the Santa Rita terroir ! everything from the smoky oak, earthen soil, dark fruit tomes of raspberry and cherry. 14.5% alcohol barely a factor after 10 years in the bottle- a rare gem!
