September 12, 2022 - 醒酒两个小时，淡石榴红色，闻香有一些老酒的坚果气息，李子，些许植物，桂皮香料，还有一点肉味，入口酸度高，单宁紧涩，有细沙颗粒，酒液咸，有矿物感，陈年后的梅果和李子的香气，香料感，余味红果，悠长的香草和木质香气。一款陈年老酒，有一些老态，结构依然强壮，单宁很硬。
September 30, 2020 - Elegant, mature, delicious. In fact the best flavors appeared as we finished the bottle, three hours after it was opened. The whole cluster winemaking was especially apparent on the nose and as we first started drinking. But then it evolved into a balanced, elegant Dundee Hills Pinot noir. Serious, classic wine.
November 23, 2017 - It has long been a tradition to broach a White Rose on Thanksgiving and this time the 2009 vintage was up for grabs. First time with the White Rose Vineyard in over 5 years. I am pleased to report that, contrary to a previous CT note, this is far from being past its drink-by date. Far from it. Clear pale garnet in the glass with a hint of brick; oh the aroma is so wonderful on opening, fragrant and effusive, floral notes, that Burgundian wildness; rich tart red cherries, hints of clove and other spice, quite tart, jammy. So, yes, by all means drink, but you don't have to panic.
October 28, 2017 - Past it's drink by date
August 1, 2016 - Starting to show it's age. Brickish color coming on the rim. It's beginning to offer up signs of cinnamon and cardamon, dried cherry and rose petal. Silky smooth and layered. It's evolving very beautifully and quickly for a younger wine. It's drinking beautiful now and imagine it should be enjoyed sooner rather than later.
November 28, 2015 - Enjoyed at Thanksgiving dinner. Consistent with previous notes.
November 27, 2015 - Consistent with previous.
August 9, 2015 - Drank this next to an 03 Alain Dudelot-Noellat Vosne -Romanee yesterday. Same varietal, different worlds. The WR pinot was young and boisterous in comparison. Maturing well with ripe raspberry notes and subtle earth nuances. A great drink right now.
June 13, 2015 - Two hour decant. Aromas of roses and violets, mixed with cherry. Fruit is still going strong, and that remains true through a long finish. Tannins are nicely muted. This has integrated nicely, and has none of the heat I tasted in the Hand Select the same evening. Not a lot of secondary development yet, but this will continue improving. 92+
May 19, 2015 - This wine is heading to the second 1/2 of it's life. Maturing beautifully. Brick color on the rim. very harmonious. well balanced.
