  IPNC Weekend 2018; 7/26/2018-8/2/2018 (Linfield College, McMinnville, OR): Light medium red color. Drank a glass over 30 minutes. Poured from a Jeraboam as Randy worked the grounds at the salmon bake. Another great bottle, maybe not quite as good as the '04 Signature the night before, but damn close. Amazingly complex spices seem to dance across the nose, wow, then the pretty red fruits and floral perfume joins in and mixes with some bacon fat as this keeps on singing. As good as this '07 is now, in this large format it still feels youthful on the palate. So if you have any 5 liter bottles of this at home, you might want to sit on them for 5 years :). 93+pts

  Translucent ruby with rust hints. Nose of berry pits, raspberry, earth, brier, violets. Deep-dwelling sweet dark berry on the palate with earth, quenching freshness, brambles, and savory notes. Enlivening acidity and fine grained tannin. Long finish of underbrush and raspberry with slow, satisfying grip. Delicious!

  I'm so happy I cellared these bottles. As I had hoped, they evolved beautifully. Still big but more silky and longer in the finish. Deep, ripe black cherry fruit, spice and full bodied with an earthy, barnyard character.

  Drinking very well at the moment. Still plenty of fruit but nice secondary more barnyard like flavors as well. Excellent pinot!

  From magnum. This is in a great place. Mostly secondary on the nose and the palate but there is still good fruit and spice to support.
