Friday, May 29, 2009 - "Anniversary" Weekend at Rob & Lisa's; 5/29/2009-6/1/2009 (Scott's Valley, CA): My first Windy Oaks pinot after a good friend has been talking them up for quite some time now. The nose was almost non-existent at the pop, but it slowly opened as the bottle came to temp with aromas of blackberry and some dusty earth. Taste shows dark cherries, blackberries, plum, and some earthy spices. Similar to the George Martaella Vineyard we had along side this one, this is on the medium bodied side, and holds on to a fair amount of tannin and acid, which gives it structure and balance, without being too cloying. This is a CA styled pinot with a lot of characteristics that I think more old world styled pinot drinkers can appreciate. Very good.
