Community Tasting Note

Wednesday, October 28, 2009 - Wayne's 70th Birthday Dinner (Paley's Place, Portland, OR): Opened about 4 hours before drinking but not decanted. Beautiful, clear pink-red color, like a 5-year-old Oregon pinot noir. Complex nose of truffles, leather, tea and tobacco. Much richer on the palate than the color would lead one to expect. Richly grenache tasting with outstanding fruit, fully-resolved tannins and moderate acidity to support the plush, elegant palate impression. Moderate, rich finish. This was everything we hoped for in a mature CdP. Paired beautifully with the cheese course.
