Mysterious on the nose but lacking the fruit I wanted on the palate-fruit sec and savoury

I once heard that the perfect amount of time to wait to drink a Pinot Noir is seven years. This wine is really perfect right now so I’ll send a couple of kudos to that school of thought. I feel like we’re drinking this at exactly the right moment; you can still taste the full impact of bright red fruits but an undercurrent of black currants washes beautifully over the palate and pairs well with a grilled steak.

Big and robust, earthiness, balance and complexity not often seen in CA Pinot.
