Very good wine after 11 years. Pomegranate, strawberry, spices on palate. Acid and tannins are still there. Glad I have 2 more bottles. Will probably open next one in 6 months. (421 views)

The tart notes are spot on. Long finish. Drinking perfectly right now. (1960 views)

A year's extra aging has done this wine well. Increased depth of flavors, and yet less of the tartness that I found a problem. (1784 views)

This bottle was earthy and floral but with an incredibly pleasing plush mouthfeel. A touch funky and animal on opening but awakening to velvet fruit and earth. Among the most sophisticated cold climate Cali pinots I have had and in a very good place now. Recommended (2120 views)

Was good, but not as good as we thought it would get. Very subtle flavors of cherry and not as vibrant as we like (1966 views)

A nice subtlety of fruit and spice at the beginning, taking on a bit of tart cherry after dinner (not what I'd prefer). (1998 views)

Couldn't lay off this before going back for another bottle. The nose, however while still full of flowers has a far more pronounced red fruit thing going on. Still love the weight on the palate and it is just a pleasure to drink. Go for it! Drink 'em all...you won't regret it. (1236 views)

Wow - really popped. Certainly elegant, but not overly austere as many Faillas can be. Distinctive, really evoking the vineyard source. Exemplar of well-made California Pinot. Good now (May '15), maybe another two years until it shifts to next stage of maturity. (994 views)

Beautiful nose with more crushed flower and leather than red pinot fruit. The texture is great and love the acidity. Finish is very nice at about 30 seconds and this really calls you back to drink more. This is a real easy drinker and should hold up for a few more years but hard to lay off the other bottle now that I know this is drinking really well now. Sometimes I wonder if an expectation of 2011 being more "difficult" leads to a higher impression but who cares...this tastes great. (978 views)

PnP -750ml; semi-opaque crimson color, aromas of cherry, candied cherry, and spice; bright and light flavors of cherry, currants, slight cloves, spices; light to medium body, medium intensity, a bright spot among California pinot noirs. Last one but would like to try again in 5 yrs - should have good 2ndary flavors. (2298 views)

This needs time to open up. Nice, but still very tight. (2022 views)
