Community Tasting Note

Friday, March 13, 2009 - i only have one of these, and frankly owning a single bottle so young just annoys me, so what the hell? in reality, i should've bought more.

popped and poured. one sniff and i suspect this will out class the '06. translucent raspberry in color. i love it when i can actually see my hand on the other side of the glass while drinking pinot. explosive and complex nose showcasing cranberry, cherry, and pomegranate on the fore. like walking through a pine forest. a hint of warm baking spices, citrus, and some mineral notes buried beneath the fruit. great energy yet soft in the mouth as the fruit overpowers the cranberry type tartness. the mineral note carries from palate through the red fruited and pine laden finish. this wine is reminiscent of some delingers i've enjoyed in years past. young yes, but worth a look at this point if you are sitting on a few.
