Another Thanksgiving Pinot - and this is drinking great. Really spreads out on the palate, good acidity - just like a Burgundy, I’m convinced that Oregon Pinot demands some time in the bottle to really show its best.

Nothing like a sample of some Christmas wine first thing in the morning!
Color is a light translucent ruby in the glass. Red fruit and spice notes on the nose. Lighter-bodied on the palate, with tart red fruit (cranberry?). This is very nice.

Black berry aromas and flavors wit anise, black pepper and dried thyme. Good concentration and length. Slightly faint bitter note in finish more pronounced vs last bottle earlier this summer, but still overall very good.

Jim Anderson / PGC dinner - Etzel Block Vertical and Blind Tasting (New England): More concentrated. Raw beef on nose. Powder and pepper on palate. Could use still more concentration. Very sauvage.

Lovely elegant PN. Sour cherry, quite Burgundian. Tannins have softened. I like this a lot. At peak.
