Strong musty aromas at first (old books!). Nice light ruby color. Some tannins, and hints of strawberry, cherry. A little earthy. Doesn't linger however, and lacks depth.

This wine was a truly pleasant surprise. We expected it might be a bit past its time but far from it -- this was a prime example of all that an Oregon Pinot can be: balanced, complex, without overpowering. A memorable bottle.

Stored right. Still has dark cherry/ peppery flavors. Glad to still have a bottle

16th Annual Lyon 10 Year Retrospective (Same Old Place): This was in the top 3 for me. Black cherry pie, with all the spices, berries, and some earth were notable. Great depth and structure. 91 on day 2.

opened a magnum of this for a dinner party, delish. smooth and silky with just a hint of earth and leather.
