From cousin Lee: we had some good friends over last night and opened the 2007 Witness Tree Pinot. It was great. It drank much bigger than a typical Pinot - lot of flavor, bigger body than I expected. Really enjoyed it.

Initial nose was bright berries, then changed to slightly earthy. Taste was sour plum but rather plain and disappointing in the beginning. After an hour or more, taste changed to light earthy leather and we enjoyed it with grilled vegetables and cheese.

Drank with John & Tiffany as 3rd bottle of night. This opened up very shy, but slowly came around after an hour or so. Light in color and body, this showed more earth notes than fruit at this point. An easy-drinker, and paired ok with halibut. I wouldn't hold this much longer - drink soon.

This bottle was delicious. There is definitely bottle variation. Deep, rich body and flavors of dark fruits, earth, spices. Tannins well integrated. Silky with long finish.

An aberration? Or an indication of the wine beginning a downhill trend? This bottle was slightly muted, acidic and 'ordinary'. we will wait until the next bottle to say for sure.

30-60 min air. Sweet nose of red fruits, spice and earth. Light flavors of dark fruits, spices, subtle oak, distinct terroir. Really nice. Medium tannins well integrated and balanced. Short finish. A great wine at $20! (Doris 90 - nose of earth, flavors of earth and fruits. Very nice)

Delicious, Elegant, silky, deep fruits. Balanced tannins. Time to drink up the 07's.

Slightly drier, more tannic than expected.

OK. Beautiful nose of blackberry pie. Lackluster taste. Acidic.

Drank this right after drinking a 2006. We all preferred the 2006. Slight sour notes on this.
