Not rated. This was all gone. Brown and matterized. A client who cleans up estate properties called me over to a basement cellar. I was excited when I saw old Inglenook but they were Pinot Noir and also far gone. I opened about 5 different bottles from early to mid 70's and all were dead. Bad storage conditions didn't help.

Magnum 1966 Louis Martini Pinot Noir. Wine #2 at K's birthday dinner at Pr. Super interesting. Still fruit on the nose, beautiful dusty color. Really interesting and fun to try.

Preharvest bbq....those who stayed latest rewarded the most when Martella pulled this artifact out of the bag. I often hear comments about the agability of Cali Pnr...well this one carrys the flag. I wish I could remember the specific qualities but it was an overwhelming evening of great wines, food and company. It was remarkable, of that I'm sure. Another treat!
