  Taney in color and opened up after an hour. I chose this wine to cook with (since it was time to move it off the shelf) and all but one glass is working its way into a coq au vin. It's deep berry and leathery at this point with still plenty of tannins. It will hold up well to cooking so I am looking forward to it. Today's theme from W. C. Fields "I always cook with wine and some of its keys it into the food."

  Drank w/ Thanksgiving meal and went well with turkey. Balanced with earthy notes, enough acidity to hold up to food, but not overly acidic or tart.

  Probably drank this too late. Not much to it. Not bad but nothing special.

  Tawny color, this wine has started 'over the hill.' Probably was a 90pt wine in its prime, but now it is all leather and dark berry (and not as good as that sounds.
  $29.99 OH Retail.

  I like this pinot, but it has a sharp, earthy edge and I suspect it would be a pretty polarizing wine.
