Epic Blind Tasting with Great Buds (Virginia): Spicy cherries, raspberries, lots of rose hips, tar, some herbal tea, anise, black pepper. The palate is refined with dusty tannins and fresh acidity. Juicy red and black cherry fruit mixes well with earth, musk, leather, pepper, anise, spiced cranberry relish. I wasn't sure on this one at all, but through out a 1995 Columbia Valley Syrah as an uncertain blind-tasting guess. Awesome to see that even from a tough vintage, Clos Electrique still rocks.

Still very good. But when I think of this Cameron Clos Electrique, I always think of a very specific funk that this does not have. It's very clean, blue fruited, and delicious, and I'm confused by it.

Funk and Brett overpower the fruit, it may be getting late for this wine. Interesting flavor complexity, but reflective of the '07 vintage in that it is delicate and somewhat light bodied, but that can't stand up to the funky flavors and nose. May have waited a little too long to open.

good fruit for the 2007 vintage on Dundee hills, complex flavors with mushrooms, blackberries, smoked cherries, sous-bois, still very elegant and perfectly balanced. Although I appreciate JPs wines for what they are, I have found I still prefer the Cameron wines that don't have excessive brett and funk and this is one of these more pure and clean pinots. Love it!

Blind taste. Guessed OR based on nose. N. Strong with barnyard, dark raspberry, forest floor showing. P. Dark raspberries, forest floor, and lots of minerals. Was my WOTN and either 1 or 2 overall. 92-93

Light cranberry color, a bit cloudy. Generous pinot nose, light and sweet, exuding almost barrel sample freshness. On the palate, plenty of primary sweet red berries. No significant tannins, but the intense and juicy acidity gives a nice mouthfeel. A touch of heat blew off with a couple hours air. Fine persistence. Reasonably elegant right now, and a few more years age may bring rewards as the acidity softens and a bit of complexity emerges. Reminiscent of a top-notch village Burgundy, in a traditional style.

Blind tasting notes. Dark red in color. Nose of red fruit, cranberry, typical Cameron Funk. On the palate there was lots of sour cherry, cranberry, more funk. Really nice velvet mouthfeel, acidity, and balance to this wine. The wine changed lots while in the glass and was hard to peg down as a result. (92)

Pinot Noir Blind Tasting @ Planet Wine (Planet Wine - Alexandria, VA): I liked this wine a lot. The nose and palate had subtle chocolate, light campfire smoke and espresso. There was also a noticeable amount of cranberry, strawberry, and sour cherry on the finish. Very nice wine.

Tasted very youthful still with all the typical Cameron flavors. Rich silky cherry, freshly tilled soils, fresh-cut mushrooms. Was a wonder wine

Great fruit, but points off for excessive funk. I like a bit but this is over the top...

Boy is this in a good place right now. Still lots of fresh red fruit, with earthy/mushroom notes. Very lively.

Portland CellarTracker offline (Sauvage et Fausse Piste Winery, Portland, Oregon): Strawberry, warm caramel and intoxicating funk. Bright acids, cherries and mushrooms. Brimming with structure, density, a labyrinthine of layers, a dot of chewiness and gravely suave in texture.

Similar to previous bottle. An unusual faint swampy note mostly blew off with a couple hours air. Very nice pinot, if simple.

Drinking quite well after a couple hours slow o. Nice acidity, maybe less thrilling than I might have hoped for.

Typical Cameron goodness = funk + great mouth feel. Nice wine overall. A bit disjointed on the finish, otherwise a higher score.........
