Still fresh and lovely. A treat to drink. Tasted with a compliment of cheese and crackers. Notes of cherry with a great mouth feel. Will never get to try this wine again as it's not available anymore.

2006 vintage

Almost no distinguishable nose. Was a bit flat. Soft nose of fruit but past its prime. Noticeably brown on the edges of the glass. Drink up.

2008 vintage

Drank this followed by a 2007. Decanted for one hour. Lean and dry with fading fruit. The 2007 had more vibrant fruit and was liked by companions better.

The first time tasted there was a bit of harsh taste. Not what I expected. Second night this wine opened beautifully. Raspberry strawberry and vanilla tones. I am glad I didn't use it for cooking. Looking forward to drinking another one soon.

2008 vintage

Nicest nose of the night for me. Finishes a bit tart

2008 vintage

Big raspberry and cherry front end. Nice light palate and a medium finish. Slightly tannic.

Ditto on my 6/8/12 notes, still a nice easy drinking pinot.

VG+. Spices, some smokiness. Drank it at Villagio.

2008 vintage

Uponj P&P, kind of syrah on the nose: green/white pepper(?), which gave way to an indescribable floral note. After 1+ hrs, it was pretty enjoyable, but gone!

2006 vintage

App: Pale ruby red Aroma: complex red fruits with integrated oak Medium bodied and smooth texture. Medium length Great wine, but this has peaked. Loosing intensity at the end compared to other vintages

1994 vintage

Vackert klarröd färg, medelhög intensitet. Doften är medelstor, intensiv och rent bärfruktig med typiska inslag av hallon och syrliga körsbär, men också med en lätt rostad nyans av ekfat. Smaken är medelfyllig, torr men intensivt fruktig med en liten nyans av bärsötma, allt fint balanserat av den friska syran och de mogna, relativt milda tanninerna. Eftersmaken är medellång och elegant. Mycket typisk både för druvan och distriktet.

Blind tasted App: Brownish red Aroma: Overripe berries, portlike, cherries and chlorine odor from swimming pools Medium bodied and rather bitter palate Good length Strange wine and too many unpleasant aromas

2006 vintage

A little barnyard and earth on the nose with a hint of raspberry. Raspberry upfront with black pepper on the mid-palate transitioning to back to the fruit on the finish. Great acidity all the way through. Lovely Pinot. Had it with potato and parmesan fritters with sauted kale and cauliflower.

2006 vintage

Brownish, brickish color. A bit cheesy on the nose with rhubarb fruit aromas. Lean, focused black cherry fruit with a chalky, mineral infused finish. OK.

Glunz Wines Winter Portfolio tasting (union league club, chicago IL) : nose: very candied nose with cherries, strawberries, and bits of spice. Decent depth and good straight ahead flavors taste: fuller bodied on the palate with a lot of candy tones accompanied by raspberries, cherries, and some bits of spices and strawberries overall: a very good cali style pinot. straight forward in style but lacking a bit of depth to really drive the wine
