March 2, 2019 - plenty of ripe fruit with clean earth. Softer now but still evolving in the glass on day two.
November 11, 2018 - Echoing the last note. This is insanely good. Almost ageless, with a tremendous set of aromatics and tons of freshness, with no signs of fading just yet. Tons of raspberry, spice, red flowers, and very Chambolle in approach. Still has vibrant acidity, a velvet mouthfeel, and was an absolute steal at $45. These WS pinots can age!
December 2, 2017 - 14.0% alcohol. This is utterly stunning. What an effortlessly aging beauty! Black cherry color, lightening at the rim of the glass but no bricking yet. Glorious nose of black cherry, raspberry, earth, and flowers. In the mouth, a beautifully velvety texture, full of delicious fruit and supported by excellent complexity. A lot of life as displayed by the excellent acidity. A really fantastic wine. A
March 4, 2017 - Totally agree with the last 3 reviews. This wine was amazing and still had more life. Maybe another year left. This was my last bottle of 05 W-S. Glad I drank it with The Durham. Very special. One more 06, then onto my 07s!
February 28, 2017 - One left, still very enjoyable
November 11, 2015 - Still a lot of life left in the bottle. Oh so smooth.
March 18, 2015 - Nice balance between old school and new school. Pleasant bright red berry nose and palate. Wine is very open and expressive. Some cola and mild earthy notes. Very smooth, well balanced and great mouth feel.
April 12, 2014 - Lots of ripe black and blue berries with sweet spice. Still fresh and lush with good balance and a moderate finish, moderate nuance.
July 27, 2013 - yummy and perfume , elegance , now it's big show , complex
March 20, 2013 - Popped and poured. Subtle nose of forest floor and spice; medium body on the palate with perhaps some unresolved tannins? This didn't have the typical W-S flesh and flavor profile and the fruit slowly faded and the tannins mounted; surprisingly in 05. Not one of their better efforts; perhaps a bit over the hill or a bad bottle.
