  Opened not decanted. Strong notes of oak and charcoal mixed with dark cherry fruit. Of course, on the last glass it all integrated into a smooth red and black cherry fruit experience. Has held up well. Good + (will decant next bottle).

  This is killer juice. I read other notes on this wine which said the wine is drinking young now and it really is even with a couple hours of decanting.
  A terrific pinot for my palate.

  My last bottle. Whereas the Wild Yeast seemed the most approachable of the WO Reserve lineup at release, it's wildness gave me something to ponder over after a few years more in bottle. High acid, sweet-and-sour flavors make it a natural foil for rich dishes like risotto, duck, braised short ribs, or cassoulet.

  Fantastic Pinot - give it a couple hours of air and enjoy the expressive aromatics

  Tasted non blind at home. Decanted for 3 hours prior to first tasting and followed over several hours. Bottle needs to be stood up for a day or so before opening. Beautiful nose of spice, red fruit, some floral and intermittent hints of caramel. Just a slight hint of heat also but it is not intrusive. Very similar on the palate with tart cherries, lots of baking spices, maybe a hint of citrus and some floral. Consistent finish with lots of spice and tart cherries that persist for a full minute!
  Little to no oak influence, nice acidity and medium-firm tannins. Drink now with plenty of air or ideally hold for a few more years before you start opening these.
