PnP, took about 20 minutes to fully open, then: What a glorious wine! Light, bright and cheery, with excellent length and beautiful balance; just the right acidity. Its flavor fills the mouth, but doesn't overwhelm in the least. I was not annoyed, but on the contrary gratified that the long cellaring paid off. RIP Bob, wish you were here.
Left on the counter under N2. Next day it was a touch thicker and calmer, but still as compelling.

Fantastic place right now. Dried cranberry, tart cherry, baking spices, forest mushroom, hint of vanilla. It also shows a beautiful powdery lilac quality. Tannins are soft and integrated with nice acid balance and no noticeable alcohol. My most recent bottle was starting to fade but this one is in high gear. Anyone who disagrees can get off my lawn.

Initially I didn’t like the wine. It had a funny ester chemical aroma. Palate was Good from the get go. The second day the wine blossomed. Deep dark cherry nose with some spice. Full and ric. Balanced! Very nice. Lahould last several more years
What a transformation! Upon opening, this smelled faintly of communion wine, and a bit hot. First sample on the palate reflected similar disappointment - just hot, barely any discernible fruit at all. I figured it must be a flawed bottle. 15 minutes later I went back as I wouldn't want to waste this wine, a homage to the late Bob Wood, as that's how he would have wanted it...needless to say it was merely sleeping and has awoken in a big way. Pine needles, fresh soil, and red berries dominate the nose - a fresh and vibrant presentation. The palate simply explodes with fruit of perfect sweetness - sweet upon initial attack, but immediately converting to a more spicy, controlled dark berry component, so as not to be at all jammy or syrupy in the fruit profile. Acidic backbone drives that fruit bite, and that blast of sweetness that so quickly fades is really an attractive quality to this wine, as it seems to introduce greater complexity, much like a nose that loads you with so many individual components you hasten to taste the wine. This wine is not as complex on the nose (at least not yet) but super complex on the palate, and a great wine.

Compared to previous bottles, the red fruit has become a bit darker and deeper, but still quite tart (cranberry and cherry dominant). There is also a green, summer briar bush component which, combined with the acidity, helps the wine taste young and fresh. Some earthy notes and hints of Indian spices have begun to emerge but this baby could still use time.

From magnum. Wonder if we get $10 instead of $5 on the charity challenge because it was a magnum. With the cooking crew at the Kol Ami Thanksgiving Banquet for the family homeless shelter. Opening a Curmudgeon Cuvee just seemed appropriate in light of my personal reputation among the leadership and administration when they get in my way.
It was 10:30 am, which means it was noon in the Maritime provinces, so it was time to pop and pour. The color seemed a bit more advanced than I would have expected from a 5 year old magnum. Light in color with perhaps a very light browning tint, but it might have been the lighting. Palate is nice and balanced, with a hint of red fruit. Acidity seems a bit light compared to the Patricia Green and the Hospices Volnay we opened later in the morning, but not flabby. It was crisp but not tart, which is a good thing. Considering that it was a pinot, it was pretty good. Nice way to kick off the morning.
Medium dark ruby with a red berry nose. Dry, tart red fruit, red currants and rhubarb with some sour tannins. Lively and fresh with the acid dominant. Not too impressed on the first two night, but night three started to get really good in a restrained fashion. Some cola along with forest notes of balsam and pine. I know we are all supposed to give 100 pts in deference to Bob's memory, but he was a tell it like it is guy, so 91-92 if you like a little bitter cane tannins.

The shitty red fruit (mostly red cherry, a hint of red currant) is starting to fade a bit allowing the even shittier earthy/herbal/tertiary notes to show through. Restrained, balanced (The Bob would maybe give it 80 points), light-medium tannins, medium acid. In a good spot but looking forward to seeing how it continues to age. 90
Medium to dark garnet with rhubarb nose. Lightly tart fruit, restrained fruit and medium body with some well integrated tannins. A good balance with tart tannins over shadowing the fruit for a nicely restrained wine which will go well with food. If scoring, 91-92.

Medium garnet with lightly floral ripe strawberry with lilac nose. Tart light red berry, fairly light body and fruit with nicely balanced acid, some flinty mineral and smoothly integrated tannins. Strawberries, red currants and pie cherries cover the fruit spectrum. Drinking beautifully now with a night on the counter. If scoring, I would put this in the 92-93 range with an AFWE proviso. I like this a lot.

Dark garnet with strawberry, cherry & lilac nose. Dry mineral, light fruit with earthy tannins. Lightly fruity on night one, morphing into restrained tart fruit with light chewy tannins with some bitter stone fruit on night two. The fresh fruit was more appealing last night over the restrained nature tonight which is not usually the case for me. Let's see where this ends up. Just OK on it's own and would be better with food. In deference to Bob, I will not rate, but if I did I would say a 89 to be charitable, last night I had it in the 91 range and was looking for improvement which did not materialize. Drink it for the fruit on night one. Skip night two and go directly to night three. Nicely restrained acid focus, strawberry and raspberry and just a hint of bitter well integrated tannins. Let's say a 92 tonight.

Strawberry and rose petal on the nose. On the palate, cherry and raspberry with light savory spices that are hard to identify, and smooth, slightly drying tannins on the finish with some cherry-cola sweetness and moderate acidity; the sweet red fruit lingers on the tongue for several long seconds. This is a soft, elegant Pinot that goes down very easily. It was advertised as a shitty wine, and I have to give it 100 points for that, in memory of a unique character - a curmudgeon indeed - who left us too soon. Rest in peace, Mr. Wood, and enjoy the Pinot in heaven, where fine Pinot surely must be.
Popped and poured, medium-plus purple/ruby, youthful. A bit refrained at first, the nose opens with air to show subtle complexities of under-ripened raspberry, black cherry, root vegetables, mint, cedar shavings, ginger-spice and an impression of minerals...really expands at the 2 hour mark. Medium to medium-plus body. Flavors in mouth showcase the darker spectrum of Pinot Noir fruit and are nuanced by interesting herbaceous notes and hints of spice. Plush, seamless and well-balanced with velvet tannins. While this seems slightly muted right now it should be excellent after another 1-2 years of cellaring and will drink well for many more.
Quick comment: Cheers to Bob, will always miss you on the forums.

Light ruby with lilac, rose nose. Open several hours. Dry with young tart fruit, ripe strawberries with some lightly bitter tannins which lose the bitter over time. A little early in the drinking window, but shows good potential for the years to come. I am finally starting to recognize the Ribbon Ridge fruit, especially the nose. Fairly austere at this time and am going to love it in a few more years. Very drinkable now in the 91-92 pt range.

Popped and poured at East of Eighth with friends and family before the "Very Jewish Christmas" comedy show at the Gotham Comedy Club on Christmas Eve. This is getting better with just a bit of age, so no way to tell where it peaks. The mag I have will be astounding if I can keep my hands off it for long enough.
Very light in color. Aroma of red fruit. Palate is red fruit with some spice and a very smooth mouth feel that is well integrated and not disjointed at all. Only a very tiny bit of cola pinot funk, which is so light that it actually adds a positive to the overall flavor profile instead of the negative I often find when that flavor is too strong. A wonderful effort. I am not a fan of shitty Oregon pinot, and I do not drink a lot of it, so my opinion may not be worth very much, but this is far and away the best Oregon pinot I have ever had.
An evening with friends and a lot of wine (Chris and Renee's Home): My first time trying this wine that was bottled as a memorial to our passed friend Bob Wood. It was shitty. Light in color which I was surprised at for the vintage. Light ruby. The nose has nice cherries, slight candied cherries and is very clean. On the palate, this is very soft in texture. Plenty of cherry and sour cherry fruit. A hint of cough drops. Some complexity although this is very young. I would think Bob would have loved this wine. In another place, I might score it 89-91 points, but that's not really the point here is it. Glad to help out Bob's family and to be able to toast to Bob's memory.
Closing out the year by adding some notes I had in a notebook. There are many reasons to love this pinot, which makes it a wine I will always cherish. The wine is extremely young which tips it as a 2012 but much of the other qualities show it as coming from a cooler vintage. This is 2012 done right. At times I would describe it as feminine but then I would switch to calling it rustic. Great job and cheers to our friend Bob.

90 minute decant, then followed for an hour. Just a baby, but reflects great prospects for the future. Nose is floral with red fruit and maybe even a whiff of strawberry. NO ripe pinot funk, no coca cola. This wine has excellent balance, very smooth. Palate is nice red fruit. A wine to be proud of.

Obviously built to age. This was approachable at first sip and enjoyable throughout, although the tannins became more pronounced as the fruit faded a bit with air. This shows lovely structure with bright dark cherry and cranberry, complex spice flavors over a solid tannin backbone and a great acidic finish. In spite of the 100% whole cluster, I don't get pronounced stemmy flavors, just nice integration. I think Bob would have loved this in spite of the bright vintage. I will certainly enjoy tracking the progress of my remaining bottles.
Not yet tasted, in honor of Bob. We miss you Bob, you ass! Might be a while until I get to this but I’m sure it will be shitty when I do, and that will make me think of you. Why is this forum dead? You have the palate of a yak. Peter...your well-reasoned words were a waste of time.
Another shitty pinot noir. Sucks. Don't buy it. I poured most of the bottle down the drain. It was awful. That said, if you prefer the Russian River pinots, you probably have the palate of a yak. I won't pay that much. What are you babbling about? WTF? The sauvignon blanc has historically been pretty shitty, too. You were doing fine until that last, ridiculous, sweeping, stupid statement. More shit. I think I'm the only one who dumps on them. We won't talk about the label art. That's just because I'm a shitty, verbose writer; not because I actually have anything to say. You can fool some of the people some of the time . . . You guys plan this without consideration of my schedule. If I can get the time off from work, which is starting to become 7 days a week, I will. If not, I'll think good thoughts. We'll serve it blind to see if it's really an abomination or just shitty. Wow, that's incredibly generous of Brian
