Fun Friday evening with great wines.

KB Pinot, with some years on it, can blossom nicely. Still sporting some cola notes, with candied black cherry and earthy/herbal aromatics. Dark cocoa covered black cherries, and a dense/rich mid palate. Drinking very nicely right now.

Classic pinot nose w a sea salt/brine aroma. Nice cherry flavor w a long finish. Little concerned at 11 years old but it was great.

Nice rich and deep Pinot with earthiness and dark cherries. Bold for a Pinot Noir. 2010 vintage on 12-1-2017

One of my fav KB Pinots. I don't buy much because of the allocation so it hangs in the cellar for a while. Supple KB tannins with a mix of red and black fruits, Luxardo cherry and blackberry. Finishes with a lighter berry and dark cherry. 2010 Vintage.

Very good right now. Developed and well balanced. Lovely hint of spice on the finish.
