I was surprised at how deep this was, definitely more ripe than I prefer though. Taken in context, it's a very good example of Carneros pinot.

18 year old Carneros Pinot that’s jammy with a caramelized notes. Sweet berry flavors with a subtle richness and light sweet smokiness.

I thought this wine would last 30min with air. This had more leg than I expected. Sensational.

If I had blind taste tested this I wouldn't have guessed it to be a Pinot Noir. But it was alright for the price.

Ripe plums and raisins...dark chocolate and some savory notes. Unlike a typical pinot...absolutely fantastic!

Vanilla? Lots of complex favors for a grocery store wine. I love me some Sonoma Pinot.
