Drinking exceptionally well. Nice fruit, good acid, and very well balanced. These were under a glass enclosure - leave it to Don to be at the forefront of technology.

Loads of sour cherry in the mouth. First sip had a decidedly metallic finish, but it's not as noticable as I continue to drink it. Well balanced, beautiful acid, medium-long finish. Raising a glass to Don for his meticulous wine making which produced an Oregon Pinot Noir that drinks this fresh after 10 years.

Better than the last bottle, but nothing special. The nose is the best part of this wine. Tastes a bit disjointed. It has a nice cherry lift on the finish and not as candied as the last two bottles. Best upon opening; six hours later it is very acidic without much fruit, though the nose is still quite fragrant. Hate the glass stopper. Drink up!

This bottle was fine. I gave it plenty of air, and also put each glass in the fridge for 10 mins. I certainly got cherry, but would not go as far as anything candied. The cooler temp helped keep the higher than normal ABV at bay. Reviewing other notes, there must be more bottle variation than normal.

This wine is a bitter mess, contrary to other bottles which had too much candied fruit. A lot of bottle variation, possibly due to glass stopper.
