Community Tasting Note

    May 25, 2016 - I'd been highly disappointed over the first 6 years of trying to appreciate this Pinot; however, this is one that needed a LOT of time in the bottle. MY experience is this is one of those wines that had a good review, but became dormant for a much longer time than the expected "drinking windows" reported. I'd pretty much forgotten it, but decided to try in again when I found a couple of bottles hiding in my cellar. Glad I did... it's finally opened up and managed to claw its way into being appreciated. Interesting tastes for a medium-dark colored pinot; a combination of blueberry jam, apricot (who would have guessed this?), and raspberry. Kind of a shifty personality, but worth the wait, finally.
