  This last bottle (of the case) is a testament to the longevity of Oregon Pinot: more than ten years on, and this is singing. I was hoping to save the last bottle or two for one or another of the McCrone clan I’ve married into, but they’ve not been over the pond at the right time, so....Translucent ruby, becoming transparent at the edges; medium bodied. Great red fruit, cherries and plums, on the palate, with the same spice giving it complex savory facets. Long finish. Paired delightfully with Stilton and Humboldt Fog.

  Still going strong. Plum and cherry, with spices.

  Paired very nicely with our salmon dinner. Soft black cherry, strawberry, baking spices. More acids than tannins at this point. Very nice '07 OR Pinot.

  Delicious right from the start. Medium body, balanced, subdued plum fruit with a slight earthy (in a good, Burgundy way) undertone. Structured, but with no visible tannins, and a soft, medium finish.

  Decanted 30 minutes before dinner. Wine is lighter bodied than you expect when you heft the thick, heavy bottle. Beautiful plum and cherry aromas, with carry through to a well balanced palate with smoke and spice. Medium finish. Paired nicely with petit poussin on the grill. And with cheese from La Fourchette after.
