Wow. This is about as good as Carneros gets. I couldn't believe the depth of flavors and fruit in this wine. Extremely well made. Pure silk on the palate. Primary flaw is a lack of tannic structure that is hard to overlook. Obviously crafted from a great growing season.
Second Botlle even better

This Bottle had even more body and comlpexity which I attribute to the wines having a bit more resting time after shipping. The wine is drinking like a 30+ wine
Nice wine at a great price point

Pinot Noir

Adored by critics, prized by collectors, Pinot Noir is one of most tantalizing yet temperamental varietals in the world. For many wine enthusiasts, this is part of the appeal of Pinot -- it doesn't reveal its charms easily. Pinot Noir's virtue also stems from the unique characteristics of the grape. The skins are especially delicate, which accounts for the lighter color and body of finished wine. But, despite the delicacy, the best wines have excellent backbone and...
