The OC Bagged Crew--October 2009 (Sun Dried Tomato Cafe, San Juan Capistrano, CA): Yes, some old bones flavor in the spice box and cedar notes. But, in reality, the wine is still alive and the fruit is there, and moreso, the color which is still quite vivid and alive. Suprising and enjoyable for a pinot of this age, of the early era.

The Blind Crew at Sundried Tomatoe Cafe (Sundried Tomatoe Cafe, San Juan Capistrano): Lots of color still for such an oldy of the type with little browning. Old mushroomy nose, touch of cheese. Balanced and simple yet still very alive. Long past its peak to be sure but held up for well over an hour which was the most surprising thing. Good wine making and good storage here.
