Liked this, but agree with those who note that this is starting to fade. Nose still vibrant and redolent of black cherry and asian spice, but palate one dimensional, faded and thin. Drink up!

Brad's bottle for the "best bottle night" The bottle was stamped "Quail Hill Vineyard Bliss Block. The best pinot I have ever had, blew me away. I did not expect this wine to stand up to the big cabs we had, 02Insignia, 06 Quilceda Creek, or 08 Hoopes, but this was better than any of them. it was #2 to a Musar 99 from a magnum. Great variety of flavors.

Excellent, young pinot that will age very well due to its excellent structure.. This concentrated wine was actually better the next day, having been given the chance to soften. Classic cali Pinot.

One of the better '07 Pinots I've had, and also one of the better Lynmar Pinot's. Notes fairly consistent from the last bottle I had in January, only this bottle had much more expressive fruit which became a little fuller and less tart.

Wow. Liked it much better than the previous two bottles. I was surprised it has lasted this long past the drinking window.

Aromatic and enjoyable, but not really developing (and perhaps it's seen its best days, as I found the fruit a little lacking).

Good Cal. Pinot, but not exceptional.

Decanted for 3 hours. Really nice Pinot, with bright cherry flavors and nice acidity.

Needed to sit for about an hour, quite tart after opening but mellowed out nicely once it hit room temp.
