Still going strong with loads of sunny and tangy cherry fruit and abundant spice. Interesting note of orange peel. Time to enjoy these as it is showing it’s age and I don’t see any additional upside.

Had it at a private tasting side-by-side with 2004 Williams Selyem Hirsch Vineyard Pinot Noir, 2007 Hirsch Vineyard Food Bank Cuvee, and 2007 Hirsch Vineyard Pinot Noir San Andreas. Bottle opened for 2 hours before pouring. 2000 Williams Selyem Hirsch Vineyard Pinot Noir exhibited the best integration and velvety mouth feel. Seems to be still within its best drinking window.

Quite nice and reasonably youthful. Dark cherry with a tell tale cola note.

Chicago Wine Flock..."Various Expressions of Pinot Noir" (My home - Chicago IL): Tasted blind in vertical. Purchased from WS at release. All red fruit with good spice and coffee hints, moderate signs of evolution. Much less density or power than I recall from when tasted 5+ years ago.
