  This a big Pinot so I saved a few bottles. I will also say that I loved the 2008 vintage very much in both RRV and Dry Creek appellations. The Lynmar Jenkins vineyard 08 is still drinking really well imo. Full bodied, big middle, and a long finish, with lip smacking cherry flavors. While I prefer PN at 12.5-13.5% alc bv, this offering is still bringing it. Time to drink by end next year perhaps. Glad I kept a few...

  Eight years into its life this grand pinot is still showing beautifully. Lynmar has long been our favorite producer of pinots, so these wines are often saved for occasion where they can be most enjoyed and celebrated. I feared this one might have been cellared too long as a result, but not so. Age has been a friend to this bottle - ruby color, complex structure, delicious fruit. Definitely worth waiting for.

  Raspberry on the palate, with a modest finish.

  Vilken fullträff detta var! Dofterna ganska enhälligt fruktiga men smaken! Smaken! Det är en hög alkohol i detta vin 15,5 men har sådan syra och fruktighet att alkoholen inte stör det minsta. Ett extremt läskande vin som föll alla på läppen mina minnen från den sagolikt vackra vingården gjorde mig säkerligen överpositiv till detta vin men jag älskade det. Vill gärna ha mer av Lynmar i fortsättningen. F.ö. bjöd mig några vänner på Lynmars basvin i somras, detta var av årgång -04 och tvärtemot vad många skrivit på nätet så åldras Lynmars viner fantastiskt. En ljuvlig upplevelse båda gångerna.

  Nose of earth and cherry skin. Vanilla and clove as well. Tasted cherry, clove, tar, and cinnamon. Well integrated and smooth, with fine tannins. Medium bodied but a good long finish.
