  Flat at first but it opened up nicely.

  Lisa's 52nd Birthday Dinner (Easy Bistro): Ruby color. Aromas of black cherry, blackberry, forrest floor, and potpourri. Concentrated dark fruit on the palate with a long finish. The tannins are surprisingly firm even after 10 years in the bottle and point to a long life ahead of this wine which comes in at only 12.8% alcohol. Chehalem’s Statement is bottled only in special vintages. $99.

  Still a lot of fruit on the initial taste. Finish a bit thin, but overall, an excellent pinot drinking well right now.

  i loved this wine ... so very, very elegant and so feminine. it was even softer and graceful than i was expecting from '08. i drank before dinner and with dinner and it never faltered

  Nose - forest floor, mulberry or some other interesting berry, per Brian 'candy corn'
  Mouth - quite restrained, minerality, sour berry, nice tart. Very interesting. Tasted blind would guess burgundy.
