  Excellent Pinot berry flavor. Clean, warm, yummie. Finishes a little hot and flat. Enjoyable Pinot before and with my Shepherd's pie dinner.

  Pale garnet, with a nice earthy bouquet. Undertones of red fruits as it opens. The palate is pretty average and seems a little disjointed. The finish is short and a touch metallic. Not great.

  Bought at the BevMo $0.05 sale on what might have been a disrespectful tribute to my late friend Bob Wood, but this is the only way I could possibly get a 2007 Willamette Valley Pinot in Livermore on short notice.
  
  Pop-n-pour. Color shows a light garnet color that looks slightly oxidized for an '07. Nose is predominantly savory, with weathered wood, forest floor, and a whiff of menthol released with a swirl. Light body with some plum lingering in the background, but mostly grassy and earthy notes with mushrooms and forest floor on the finish. With air the body starts to flesh out and cherries come to the fore.
  
  I like this wine at half price. Sorry it took such a loss to open one. RIP Bob.

  Dark fruit and leather on the nose, which carries over to the palate. Fruit seems subdued, but present and still tasty. A good, but not great pinot, it falls short of greatness. I'm not sure if further cellaring will aid it or not, but I'm laying my second bottle down.
  
  Don't get me wrong, after three hours this was good, but it's currently lacking the finesse and complexity of greatness, perhaps it'll come with time.

  Antique ruby appearance; cherry fruit, leather, white pepper, cedar, and cigar box aromas; medium-bodied, earthy, and juicy with a nice cut and grippy mouthfeel; black cherries, dried cherries and cranberries, raspberries, and graphite flavors; dry finish. Nice depth and length. With aeration picked up black and blue fruit and gained a ripe sweetness. Doesn't know what it wants to be; Old World one minute, New World the next.
