  Another incredible showing from the 2005 Oregon Pinot Noirs. Definitely a mixed lot, as not all bottles from this producer are aging as well. But this particular one was screaming. Amazing aromas jumping out of the bottle. Silky texture on the palate with integrated tannin, balanced acidity, well-aged blue and black fruits, with baking spice and forest floor adding to the richness. Really enjoyable on day 1, with a noticeable drop on day 2 after 24-hours of accelerated aging.

  Lots of dark red fruit followed by notes of earthiness. The wine is a bit high on the alcohol level but delivers a pleasant experience.

  Not much change since my last note only two months ago... Aromas of dark fruit and smoke on the nose. On the palate, flavors of forest floor, dark cherry, cedar and dark currant. The acidity has softened. The tannin is integrated. Lovely color in the glass and medium finish. Really, quite delicious. Crazy to believe that this wine has 13 years under the belt...

  I feel sorry for those who drank through their 2005 Oregon Pinot Noirs early... They are showing so well right now, and still have plenty of life left. On the nose, aromas of dark fruit, grilled meat, forest floor and smoke. When it hits your palate, the vibrant acidity shows you why the fruit is still fresh. Flavors of blueberry, dark currant and cedar coat your mouth. Nice medium-long finish to round out a beautifully balanced wine. I'm planning to hold my remaining bottles for several years more. No need to rush through these.
