  I really liked what this wine had to offer. Let it open in the bottle for a few hours but it didn’t need it. Sweet red fruits on the nose. Super sexy fruit driven flavors on the palate but no where near overripe with subtle tannins. What a great Pinot noir especially for the price. This deserves 92-94 points. Super easy drinker and doesn’t need food. Point diff was because of the timing of the tastings and the ease of consumption. In a great drinking window. Btw. I had this out of a magnum. Unsure of how a reg 750 would be at at this moment in time.

  It had smooth tannin and acidity. Well balanced, but still bold California style Pinot

  Funky nose of wet cardboard, probably TCA, damp basement, and a bit of red cherry. More acidic than most Phelps pinots and with much thinner body. This is the first Phelps wine I ever considered not drinking the entire bottle.
