I drank through several of these in magnum this summer. Cloudy, pear-y, minerally, frivolous, fun.

Plenty of life left - fruit has faded, but nuanced earthiness with a surprisingly fresh acidity was fantastic. Drank with a duck meatloaf at Buttermilk Channel, a decent pairing!

I love oxidized chenin, but this might have gone a bit too far?

after sitting on it forever, the wife and I finally opened up a nice bottle of 2006 Stone Hill Norton, the great Missouri varietal.

Completely unoffensive and relatively single-note, however it somehow completely exceeded expectations and was worth the $15 that we paid for it.

If I lived in StL or KCMO, this could be a weekly drinker?

Not a typical 2006 Willamette Pinot

Much preferred the 07 (which I'd probably rank a 85-88). Smokey, thin, sour, and lacking fruit. Running thru the venturi only intensified these flavors.
