Opened this the other night:
1. OjaiVnyd PinotNoir ClosPepeVnyd/SantaRitaHills (14.0%) 2003: Med.color w/ some bricking; rather earthy/Burgundian some toasty/pencilly/smokey/oak some black cherry/PN/floral complex nose; lightly tart rather smokey/pencilly/Fr.oak rather earthy/dusty/loamy/Burgundian light black cherry/PN complex flavor w/ light smooth/gentle slight astringent tannins; very long/lingering rather earthy/dusty/Burgundian some toasty/smokey/Fr.oak light black cherry/PN fairly complex finish w/ light smooth tannins; shows a lot of Burgundian character and not a lot of fruit left but a lovely complex old PN that still offers up some pleasure; probably on the downside & should be drunk up; resembles a bit a Val d'Aosta Pinot but w/ much more oak.
