  Probably should have drunk this earlier. Structure is breaking down and color has lost clarity. That said, still had enough fruit to be pleasurable but balance has suffered from holding too long.

  Dark plum in color, cherry and raspberry on the palate, pleasant savory notes. Over the last month or so, I opened my last 3 Winderlea 2007s- an Ana, an Estate Reserve, and this Estate. While Estate Reserve was the most complex and intriguing of the 3, the Estate was the darkest of the trio and most robust. Eye-opening that Oregon pinots from as challenging a vintage as 2007 was can age so gracefully.

  Wine really has held up, showing structure and Burgundian character typical of this region. Paired well with roasted spatchcock chicken. Glad I have another bottle to enjoy.

  This wine has developed nicely over the years. Very nice nose of cherry and some spice . Light bodied, elegant, silky palate. Resolved tannins.

  Black cherry colored with nose of sweet black cherries with a bit of white florals.
  
  Black cherry and earth with a squeeze of citrus. Silky and medium bodied. The acid is high- and the wine cries out for food and it's a bit shrill on its own. 14% abv.
