Color crimson. Nose of black cherry, band aid, spice. Similar palate. Good acidity, velvety tannins. Better fruit and balance compared to the '07 Shea from Panther Creek.

High fruit acidity, rhubarb, cherry, strawberry palate, chalky texture, mild-medium tannin, not overly complex, mid-palate is more texture than fruit, relatively short astringent finish.
It is an '07 after all so it's not a bad wine for the vintage. The producer and vineyard are good, we've had both quite a lot in previous vintages and this particular wine is not a good representation of either.

It's way past it's prime. I left this in my cellar for years, oh well.

Tasty pinot noir but this bottle tasted as if I consumed it near the end of its life. Have 3 more, will see if bottle problem or vintage.
