1990 - From a magnum. Amazing how well this held on and showed. Reminiscent of Burgundy with red fruits, sauvage, clove, and iron. This was fermenting when I was in high school!

Excellent balance and beautifully aromatic nose. Lovely on the palate and an a relatively long sensuous finish. I only wish more Cali Pinots tasted like this beautifully layered wine

Teeny bit past it's prime, slight hint of Brett, but that's fine by me. The year of my birth so this was a fun one to drink. Earthy, awesome

Opened nicely in decanter. This Pinot is like nothing I've ever tasted. Perfect for thanksgiving dinner.

This wine is way past it's prime. Stinky and dirty on the nose, with dark earthy cherry on the palate.
