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:
Darlene Myers rated this wine as 89/100 with the following review:

I love Pinot Noir, and this one didn't disappoint. It's soft and easy to drink. Food friendly, this Pinot will go with most of the foods you are serving. I love all the characteristics a Pinot has to offer, including cherry and chocolate. And a hint of oak. This is a great wine to bring home tonight.
This very impressive California Pinot offers great value. Opens with an expressive nose of red cherry, woodsmoke, raspberry pie, and hints of leather and tobacco. Dry, ripe and freshly fruity, with velvety tannins and a smoke-tinged finish. This wine can be cellared 2-3 years, or enjoy it tonight. Source: Vintages Wine Panel
