Held on to this one for awhile - and it was worth it. Really unique OR Pinot Noir - dark, big, juicy. Agree with other tasters that this drank like a Sonoma PN - closer to William Selyem than a typical Oregon PN. Black and dark red fruits. A little BBQ’d meat. Still good “snap” of acids after 11 years in the bottle. Very balanced. Still wish Peter had access to this fruit.

Popped and poured. After trying this wine over the years, it has finally achieved nirvana. Very expressive and balanced. Unfortunately, my last bottle.

I think someone's feedback was 'light' but that was not my experience. This tastes similar to some of the finer Sonoma Coast pinots. Dark mouthwatering fruit followed by refined tannins. Big and plush. I wouldn't hesitate pairing this with a steak. Drinking very well now after ~30 minutes of air.

Great with flavorful pasta sauce. Dense, dark. An hour to open. Delicious. If you have more should be wonderful for several more years.

Delicious light PN. Good balance fruit and tannin. I do not think this is a long keeper, another year or two.
The second day, the wine held up well. Good sipping wine with fish and spring vegetables.
