Community Tasting Notes 15

  June 25, 2014 - Hazy notes from last night.Popped and poured over an hour. The vintage really showed here. This was far more ripe than I usually associate with the Westrey style. Not really my style, as I thought it was a little awkward and too big for its own good. Not hot, just too ripe, some baked fruit and not enough complexity for me. I'd drink up soon (B).

  April 10, 2011 - Nice big complex pinot, no need to pare with food if you want to drink it as a stand alone. Enjoyed by all at a party.

  December 12, 2010 - Nose smells hot, up front slightly abrasive taste and that mellows out nicely to a nice lingering finish.
  Definately can stand some some more cellar time to calm down. Still tastes tight after two hours decanting, hints of cherry on the mid palate. Big-bold in character for a pinot. Will taste a bit later with food to see how it pairs.

  July 10, 2010 - Color unchanged in the last year - beautiful, rich, purple hued ruby red. Nose subdued at first. Baked cherries eventually. Milder, more integrated palate of red fruits, decent acidity, nice drying tannins, and a medium finish. Some cola, not too much, except maybe for purists, ditto oak, and alcohol. Medium bodied. A nice wine, nothing to write home about. 5-7 more years, max.

  July 26, 2009 - 2009 International Pinot Noir Celebration: Pasport to Pinot (McMinnville, Oregon): Cherry scents get caught up in some heat on the nose here. The wine has a very nice mouth feel with some decent tannins. Cherry flavors show up as well, but they seem independent, and I'd like to give the wine a little time for the pieces to come together better.
