From a split: Gorgeous sublime restrained earthy, brassy, currant and cranberry nose. High tones red brassy fruit favors with pine, mushroom, earth. Mouthfeel, Flavors and tannin were tense. Nice acids. Somewhat angular without being piercing. Finish was lengthy with savory characteristics and no heat. This wine in this format is much better at this stage then it's 750mL counterpart. Got better with throughout the 3 hour dinner suggesting that it would have benefitted from a decant. Another sh**ty 07 Pinot.

Not much life left in this, drink up if you have some. Popped and it was okay to start but faded fast.

Monthly Tasting Group: An Embarrassment of Oregon Riches (Spoon & Stable, Mpls, MN): Small pour. Another in a series of really good wines, savory, sous bois, red fruits, elegant, excellent. Another winery that nailed the vintage.

Gorgeous. Incredibly well-balanced with great texture. Earthy. Not likely to improve much from here, but wow right now.

Drinking well with red fruit and baking spices. Some earth and leaves coming through on the finish. Fruit seemed to get darker with air.
