It seems to be past it's prime but to be fair, we moved recently and didn't have stored properly and temps probably fluctuated. I have liked this wine previously.

While I love Storr's pinot noirs, this was a bit past it's prime. Our fault that we waited too long. The color was off, the taste was off.
