Moderate sediment, so take care on the pour/decant. A flavorful, though restrained Pinot Noir. Definitely no California fruit bomb. Deeper, darker color fruit flavors on the nose and palate.

Excellent! I'm retracting my previous poor review of this wine/vintage, which I purchased at a restaurant, and actually suspected was somehow not the genuine article. This wine epitomizes a high-quality Napa Valley cabernet - rich and full bodied - with perhaps hints of the pencil lead and cedar of a Pauillac.

Relatively young, though the tannins are integrating nicely. A wonderful Saint Emilion...only those with the best taste memories will be able to distinguish this from a few superior vintages.
