  Blood red in color with rose hued meniscus. Brooding, but promising aromas of black cherry, orange rind, black tea. Black cherry on the attack, and full flavored in the middle, but disjointed, one-dimensional and unsatisfying. Sour and metallic at the back of the palate; lingering, unpleasant notes of burned tobacco or ash tray on the finish. Didn't think this was past its sell-by date, but wouldn't hold off. Not much more to see here.

  Difficult to drink. Off putting with a bizarre flavor profile. Overripe and unbalanced. Yuck.

  I really love W-S wines, but not this one. Something was definitely wrong, I am not expert enough to be to describe it other than to say as one who drinks at least one bottle of W-S pinot noir per week this was bad. Perhaps it was bacteria. The bottle was fine (no sediment issues or other obvious flaws) and cork was in excellent condition, minimal penetration up the long cork. Odor seemed slightly off, rather sharp. The wine was purchased direct from W-S and cellared in a concrete vault in San Francisco. I am hoping the other bottles of this I purchased are better, this was definitely not up to W-S standards. It now goes to be used as a ~$70 cooking wine.
