San Francisco Wine & Food Society Dinner - Burgundy Grapes on a Sea Voyage (Waterbar, 399 Embarcadero, San Francisco): Opened for several hours before serving alongside a 2008 Shea Wine Cellars, Pinot Noir and a 2009 Paul Hobbs Pinot Noir, Russian River. Lovely bright, dusky semi-transparent ruby colour. Nose is a pile of dirt....but lovely semi-damp dirt that tells you you are in Burgundy....hints of strawberry compote. Palate is bright, fresh, lots of strawberry and a really nice incense-oriented perfume. Nicely integrated but slightly tart acidity and a little dilute. Moderate length and no particular resonance.

Nice like all my other bottles but a little thin. Great value, I really must hold on to my last 3 bottles for a year or so.
