Opened and then decanted. Strong notes of smoke and charcoal with red cherry fruit peeking behind. Decanted and consumed over an hour. The smoke and charcoal receded after awhile but instead of being in the foreground moved to the background. Red cherry with a semi dry finish. Disappointing. Fair

Seemed like a pretty standard pinot to me. Acidity and tart cherries. I was expecting a bit more balance and fruit. I'm sure a pinot lover would like it, but it wasn't quite my thing in a pinot. (I actually prefer the 2007 Buena Vista Carneros Pinot to this, which has a little more fruit and balance.)

Velvety red cherry and strawberries on the nose and palate with earth & spicy notes culminating in a long tasty finish.
