  December 21, 2008 - The nose carries light spice and cherries, and both come through on the palatte. There is a lot of nice acid remaining and the wine finishes incredibly cleanly with light lingering fruit. "Refreshing" would not be exaggerating. The cherry flavors mid palatte are tasty, and I think it's fair to say that this wine could still be held for a few years with good results. Very enjoyable.

  December 18, 2008 - Wow, who knew a bottle this old could still be presenting the fruit this wine is. Drank a line-up of about 10 Pinot Noir's last night and this was my favorite of the night. How could it not be though, age has treated this wine very well. The acid in this wine is delightful, the finish lengthy and unlike any other old Oregon Pinots I have had, this still has it's fruit at full presentation. (granted, my experience with 10+ year old Pinot Noirs is low)

  April 21, 2005 - Astonishingly good for a '95 Oregon pinot at 10 years of age. Balanced, complex, and long, with lots of fruit and life left. I served this double-blind, and while there was no question about it being pinot, no one thought it was this old. A very nice surprise. I have been very pleased with how my older Ken Wright pinots have aged.
