shared with pat at selkirk manor. i continue to prune the cellar of bottles with past due drink by dates. although there was no recent feedback from other members i was holding on to this bottle due to parker's projected longevity. the wine proved to be in sound condition and appears to be showing at its best. lots of cherry notes, other dark fruits and earthyness. a hint of sweetness. nice body. strong finish. glad to have enjoyed this wine at its peak. i discovered this producer at a pinot fest held at city winery ten years ago. i have been on the winery's allocation list since then and have purchased several other vintages. i have not made any recent purchases. i need to get back on the bandwagon.

Dull red starting to brick. Clove, cherry, and earth nose. Full bodied, cranberries, brown spices, black cherries, fully integrated tannins, white pepper, and a long, multi-layered finish. Excellent. Drink now.

Similar to my last TN, but maybe starting to fade a bit. Still very good with excellent complexity and a hot, spicy finish.

Cherry fruit in background. Mushroom and forest floor predominant flavors. Thins out on finish
