We recently pulled some cases out of storage, which haven't seen the light of day for nearly 15 years, so I'll have some fun posts in the next several months.

Nose has split oak firewood (barely seasoned), cigar box, moist cedar shavings, blackberry, dried black currant, dried roses, fresh violets, moist leather, dried lavender dark chocolate powder and graphite pencil shavings.

Palate has chocolate covered blackberry, tarry black cherry, cedar sawdust, dark chocolate bark, prune, anise candy, clay pot and leather. Very long finish, subtle tannins exist still, amazing wine!

Cork pulled, 2h rest, then decanted 6h, a perfect bottle, still young, future bottles may be 2023-30, without concern.

Perfect pair to homemade burgers from a local farmer in Columbia Co. NY (Kinderhook Farm), cooked to a beautiful medium-rare served on toasted brioche burger rolls. — 4 years ago

Earthy but smooth tannins. Old world value. James Suckling 91 Pts maybe later with more air. But then I am not really calibrated today after just finishing 31 dry days. It’s good to be back. — 5 years ago

Delicious, all brioche and delight. Perhaps a touch sweet for my taste, but then I like ‘em beyond bone dry. Will be getting more and stashing it away. — 6 years ago

2011 Vintage, it is a fantastic bargain at $20, not sure why everyone was down on it in their reviews. It has the delicate rose almost transparent quality. It starts out a with slight red fruit and opens up to deep red cherries. I think it is hard to find a good Pinot for $20 or less from Cali, this is a lot better than most at that price point. They also have some great bubbles at great prices, great bargain, all estate grown fruit🇺🇸 — 8 years ago

I can’t comment on how this does on its own but it does well in a mean rosé sangria! — 6 years ago

Some lighter herbaceous notes on the nose with a touch of pepper and cassis. The tannins are soft and subtle here, but present enough to get the job done. Finishes with a chocolate note. — 6 years ago

Deep garnet in color with lots of body, this Pinot drinks more like a Cab. Finished smooth with aromas of burnt cassis and licorice. — 4 years ago
