  We generally really enjoy the Jamsheed, especially for the low price point for the quality of this pinot. However this 04 we just picked up yesterday at the vineyard as part of our club membership and were disappointed upon drinking it today. Initially after opening it was showing a lot of heat and being overly acidic. After decanting for two hours it calmed down a bit but was still one dimensional and also still showing some heat and offensive acidic tastes. I'm disappointed they included a bottle that is on it's way down and should of been drank before this year. Hopefully this was a unique off bottle that does not represent the rest of the 04 that is left.

  This wine evolved over 2 hours in the decanter and the glass. Shy nose of black fruit, then whiffs of black cherry, followed by a musty aroma that blew off after some airing. Later, the wine had very clean black cherry flavors with a slight hole in the midpalate (due I surmised to the youth of the the vineyard in 2004). Decent acidity and a quite smooth presentation all in all, it stood up to the multitude of traditional Thanksgiving flavors. Shows good flavors and having had more recent vintages I can say that this vineyard is getting more mature and has a bright future. Nice wine.

  Interesting and funky pinot. Not much fruit. Mostly smoke and vegetables. A little sour on the finish. Clearly not offensive, but not what I was expecting either. May be past its prime.

  AMaysara that I bought too much of this... ok, sorry about that! - the wine is fairly attractive, just a bit on the teenage side of sweetness for me.
