My bottle shared with friends single blind. Slow-O'd 2.5 hours before we got to this. Fairly dark in color. Herbs bits of tart red fruit, but largely stemmy characteristics. Softer when I initially opened this it had a substantial firm finish by the time we got around to it. Not sure what to think of it...

Single Blind Burgundy vs Oregon (Ciao Bella): This wine was downright tannic for a pinot noir, with flavors of burt teer, green fruit and slightly woody. I was informed this wine is likely a whole-stem inclusion Oregon, which made sense, but single blind I guessed a 2016 Cristom. This wine was still fairly pleasant and I'd like to give it more time and attention in the future.

Tart with cherry and cranberry fruit. Acidic backbone with subtle earth and savory notes. Enjoyable for sure, but not terribly expressive or deep at this point.

The Return: The Monthly Big Group Comes Back (Ciao Bella, Mpls): Tiny taste. This came off rather strict and firm, tart red fruits. Did not impress, especially for a 2010, but I didn't have much to evaluate. no score.
