Why shouldn't it? I have had Cali Pinot 30+ years old that was drinking fine.

Because all the "professional experts" out there tell people Cal Pinot doesn't age, never mind that very few of them even drink Cal Pinot to begin with. I've had some pretty old bottles, like you said, that were simply outstanding.

'05 Cal Pinots are still young.

My I really didnt think a 12 dollar of Mondavi would be a good contender to lay down for a while. ( Yea I know 2005 isnt a while either )
