We decided to have a gathering at our house. More importantly, it had been too long since we all got together, so what is better than good food, great friends, and amazing wine? I had planned on serving the Austin estate Pinot Noir and Bevan cellars on ontogeny, and had time to open those before our guests arrived. One of our friends brought a bottle of port and a bottle of Quixote. We also opened a bottle of at the very end. It was fun to see if people could guess the varietal and the origin of this one.

What a great wine. I opened this 3 hours prior to consuming. Slow ox, no decant. This is up there with one of my favorite wines. Super smooth, bright red fruit, a little cola / vanilla at the end without being sweet at all. Long finish. A great style of Pinot that is not a fruit bomb, yet still is considered a big wine.
