After the last bottle, which was corked, I decided to hit up another bottle sooner rather than later. Pulled the cork, and gave a quick sniff.... Phew. Fine. Actually, better than fine, the nose was fantastic: dark berry fruit (blackberry, blueberry, cassis) with a bit of earth, on the palate, the fruit is there, but nicely subdued and balanced by the acidity. Hank Skewis does a marvelous job. Outstanding. thedrunkencyclist.com

I probably should have opened this wine sooner. It was still nice and drinkable, but I think it was a year or so past peak. It did not have the flavors / complexity mentioned by other reviewers who had this vintage a few years ago. I am a fan of Skewis so can only assume this one has past its prime, sadly.

Decanted for about two hours. This was a great pinot with cherry, plum, spice and earth notes.
