Opinions about wine differ greatly as the experience is subjective. You may find it helpful to compare this critical evaluation of the wine with mine as well as your own:
Vera Czerny rated this wine as 89/100 with the following review:

The wine has an aroma of violets, spices and black cherry. When you leave it in your mouth it opens up with dark fruits flavors - plum, black cherry with a hint of spices.

Fine tannins from combination of barrels Acacia's vinemakers use for aging their wines, giver this Pinot Noir a lovely long finish. Unlike their single vineyard Acacia Pinot Noir, this wine has about 2-3 years aging potential, so open and drink up now.
