Color moving towards dark chestnut. Still has plenty of mature dark spicy fruit and acidity. Still drinking very well but I would finish up any remaining bottles over the next year or so.

Color ruby center with brick red rim. The expressive nose gushes raspberry, sandalwood, anise, and earthy and floral notes. The palate is packed with raspberry, cherry, orange blossom, and sassafras. Prickly acidity initially that balances out with air. Resolved tannins and a medium-bodied mouthfeel. Overall, this was a very complete wine with great aromatics, solid structure, and a lovely flavor profile.

Medium dark red in color; cloudy not clear. Bright nose of red fruits, strawberries and red cherry. Same on palate, round, luscious pinot fruit, candied strawberries and jammy fruits, typical of the Central Coast area. A clean, pleasant, thirst-quenching wine. Not complex, but very, very good.

one dimensional. Just a lot of red fruit but with little else (nose, texture, length, etc.).

Chablis, Melville Clonal Blending and The Round 3 Let 'Er Rip (My House In The South OC) : Popped and poured, tasted immediately as I prepare for the blending party later this afternoon. A front and mid palate wine. Cherry and dark raspberry, zingy like the Clone 9 in the finish. With another 20-30 mins of aeration, picks up some juiciness, as well as stem notes and hard red candy.

This wine is of medium body with classic Santa Barbara Flavors. Bright, bright fruits are noted. Quite a nice little pinot.

Medium ruby color. Fragrant nose of red raspberry and musk. This really shines in the mouth where it's high acidity amplifies the bright red fruit and cola. The finish was long and enjoyable with pure red raspberry. Overall, this has a killer nose with focused red fruits, racy acidity, and cola notes.
