Community Tasting Note

Portland Pinot Pigs Likes this wine:

Friday, May 20, 2016 - So one of the benefits of being in the club, aside from the 20% discount, is that periodically Howard and Jessica add a library selection to the box of goodies. This time we scored a great blast from the past. Had purchased 4 of these previously - the '07s were/are magical - none left (of course). We are bad, bad pinot pigs. :-)

This has held up so well, probably just slightly beyond the peak now - but just slightly. The aromatics are heady and inviting. An initial hit of alcohol that blew off after a bit - leading to an earthy, lush, bold wine (and yes, I get that rose petal note) that holds up with the pork I served tonight yet is perfect all alone too. I'm holding out hope the '11s will be similar to the '07s. Spectacular. You should definitely drink this now.
