  Really beautiful Pinot. Fine smooth tannins, very nice fruit remaining, this is drinking so very well.

  I recently moved from Philadelphia to Houston (yeah...) and I had my considerable amount of wine shipped down, which sat in storage for a good 3-4 months. I recently opened a bunch of whites, and all were oxidized. I sat in my newly constructed cellar, dejected: I feared that somewhere along the way, all (or at least most) of the wine somehow spoiled. Thus tonight, when my wife cooked a wonderful pork tenderloin sous-vide, I was reluctantly anxious to try this wine. Looking at my previous notes, I had mixed feelings. Well, not tonight. A rich, opulent Pinot, certainly: succulent, full, big-boned, but oh so tasty. Round red fruit, balanced tartness, and even a hint of tannin on the back-end. This delivers on many levels, not the least of which is a bit more confidence in the rest of my cellar. thedrunkencyclist.com

  A bit stewed on the nose, but I ignored it. There was a bit of dark red fruit on the back there, but I ignored it. Initially, on the palate, there was that stewed, even stale note. But I ignored it. I let the wine sit for a while--yeah, I ignored it. After a while, this could not be ignored:good dark berry fruit, considerable depth, and a lasting finish. If you ignore the initial impression, this is well worth it. Outstanding. thedrunkencyclist.com

  This bottle was decidedly better than the previous as there was more fruit and complexity and a wonderful pairing for the grilled salmon. Still, it was a bit lacking in acidity, coming off just a bit flabby, particularly on the finish. But I nit-pick--this was Outstanding. thedrunkencyclist.com

  New World Blind Tasting Group $25+ (Bin 75): Dull ruby garnet, good clarity, lighter rim; medicinal dark cherry, sour cherry, spice; sour cherry on the palate, a little 1 dimensional, good acid, some age, cranberry, some spice on finish not enough to make this wine very interesting; meh.
