Very closed at first. Muted, metallic, not much else. Ten minutes in the glass and some cassis arrived on the palette; nose is still blood/iron. And then it didn’t go anywhere from there. A fine Pinot, but nothing special and disappointing especially for the age.

On the richer side. Well-made enough, but on the fruitier, less complex sides of the spectra. Pleasant but sadly uninteresting. Where oh where have the '12 Sonoma Pinots gone? Downhill.

Compact tannins. The nose is full of wonderful spice notes and citrus peel. Really takes time to open up. Gains depth over the 2 days of drinking. Should come together in bottle and demands serious air if drinking now.

Fin, försiktigt stjälkig doft med hallon, lite rabarber. I munnen är det svalt hallonfruktigt lite små skogiga drag med lite grönt men det fungerar bra i helheten. Inte mycket tanniner men en balanserad syra. Munkänslan som helhet är frisk men smeker en medhårs. Väldigt gott!

- Crimsom color with fast forming legs and aromas of raspberry. It's unbalanced with a light/medium body. Polished texture with a short finish - Thin and lacking complexity that I've come to appreciate in a quality Pinot.

Pretty red color with aromas of cherries and berries. Tastes of red cherries and berries, a delicate Pinot with good acidity and a good silky finish. Maybe a decant on the next one.

Classic Pinot with muted berry flavors, low tannin and alcohol.
Short finish with fruit mellowing fast.

The legs are fast. There is no sediment in the bottle.

My prior notes were mis-entered. This wine is thin and a little sad. Not a great Sonoma coast wine. No flavor from terroir or structure.

A little light and jolly rancherish. Not my kind of Pinot. Fruit bomb

Classic Pinot with sweet berry flavors, low tannin and alcohol.
Short finish - wish I had waited a little longer - but I wanted to try my first bottle
