2nd of 2 bottles purchased in February 2024. Decanted 2.5 hrs & served with chicken braised with artichokes and olives: beautiful garnet color, still youthful, engrossing perfumed nose, sensuous mouthfeel, long finish. Great bottle & perfect match.

Small sip on Day 2. Dark berries. Robust and rich. Okay.

Purchased three bottles after an outstanding tasting experience at the Santa Fe Wine and Chile Fiesta in 2013. I went from a PNP at a local restaurant to a 4 hour decant prior to consumption and never was able to replicate the tasting experience in Santa Fe. I can only conclude that this wine in meant to consumed early and young and not 5 years after its vintage. It's a decent Pinot, but the wow factor was lost in my wine cellar.

Solid Pinot, worth the price? I think you'd have to be a bigger Pinot fan than I am.

Again towards the end of the evening and I think I was influenced by the price, and my summary was, "not worth it." Well, Standard Market was asking a ridiculous $99.99 (seriously), but I see on Wine-Searcher it can be had for much less.
