A bit shy this evening. After a short decant and the meal, it never really opened up. Not much on the nose, really. As I’d expect from KB, the wine is balanced on the palate with medium acidity and medium tannins. Paired with sautéed chicken with a tarragon cream pan sauce, a vegetable risotto and garden salad. There is a long finish. I don’t know if California Pinots go through a dumb phase, but this one may be in it

WOW! Fantastic vintage from KB! Opened for 20-30 minutes before pouring and it was great from the get go! Loved the way it felt in the mouth and was oh so smooth! Opened up during the meal (pizza) and the second and third bottles were a total home run! Not a heavy Pinot - just nice red fruit with a hint of blackberry. Still plenty of time left in the bottle so I’ll save the next one for a year or two. Enjoy it if you have one!

Not as deep and plush as most of the other KB Pinots…but still quite pleasant
