Cherry and some citrus tang. Pure and fresh. Good.

It is the measure of many great wines that while they blow you away when opened, you also despair at the thought of how amazing they will be in the five or ten years you have robbed them of in your immediate pleasure.

Sleek and expressive. Nose fills with violets and cinnamon-showing root beer and cardamon...with a hint of effervescence?? Back of the palate I get this deep cherry drop.

Smoking bottle of wine. It's been great since it was a baby. This is just all lively fruit and acidity. Gaining complexity. Will hold on 3-5+ years easily.

2008 Vintage. These really need more time than this before they realize their potential. Would age 4+ more years if I had another one.

Still can't believe that a guy who eats, sleeps and drinks Napa cab everyday, makes pinots as lovely as these. This has aged amazingly well. Tasty, tasty, tasty!
