Revisited this one four years after initial opening. Popped and poured tonight. Paired with grilled salmon. No visible bricking, nor sediment. A more demure offering tonight than four years ago. Still beautiful nose, much softer on the pallet, fruit still there but much less in your face. Mild tannins. Good with food. Good to go tonight.

P n p. Big style Pinot. Still young but balanced. Fruit frwd. No flaws. Does not taste 8 yrs old. Food friendly. Drink or hold for short term. Our wotn compared to a 2000 left bank and a Walla Walla bord blend.

(Sojourn Pinot Noir Gap's Crown Vineyard Sonoma Coast) Dark cherry red color; nice black raspberry, blue fruit, plum nose; tight berry, black fruit palate with mid-palate dropout; short finish. (This one's a real puzzler at the moment, as the aromatics are lovely, and it was quite good when I tasted it some months back, but right now it is shy on the palate to the point of a suddenly disappearing mid-palate. Craig Haserot reports that the '07 Gap's Crown went through a similar process of development, not really coming on and showing well on the palate until several months after their other '07s [but fortunately in time for Laube's tasting for WS]. One hopes this bottle will similarly develop.)

Elegant for its age and smooth.

Still just an incredible wine with no danger of going over the hill. Delicious. My last one, unfortunately.

Awesome mature with high notes and fruit in a solid clay base. Loved it.
