nice brick color. 1st time to taste a Cal Pinot noir. Good aroma of raisin, and well integrated wood. on the palate like the nose, nice but one dimensional. After a while the 14%+ alcohol showed quite a bit. a good wine to pair with a juicy steak. I agree with the notes below, it is not going to improve any further.

Ellen compained about the acidity> Tart cherry flavor, bouquet improved with aeration. Wine has not developed secondarily.
