I'd like to rate this wine higher, but just can't. Lean, like other 07s, but the fruit has turned a little pruny. It still has some of the nice refined aromatics, but for the most part it's on its way downhill.

Surprising bottle of wine. Expected a typical Oregon pinot noir with the big berry nose and huge fruit. Instead this wine is more Old World style. There is nice fruit but it is restrained. Great acidity, a little tart upon opening but that mellowed out. Very food friendly.

Torii Mor Tasting (Vinoteca, Smithfield, London): Blind. Deeper colour. Slightly darker fruited. Fresh with good acidity. Quite dark fruited. A bit more tannin here. Currently a little dry on the finish. ***

A little past its prime, but still very drinkable. A little brown around the edges and flavors were muted.

Not bad, but just tired, boring and a bit pruny.

- Purple color - Bit pruney - think may have been heat damaged. Not a bad wine but less good than previous bottles.
