Wonderful! Fresh & vibrant. At 2 hours it really hits its stride. The nose is pure RRV cherry with baking spice. Same for the flavor with a silken mouthfeel and a slight citrus (blood orange) note. The one very minor drawback is a strangely short finish

This was a fairly elegant expression for Russian River Valley, not my preferred terroir for Pinot Noir. Still young, could have waiting a couple more years.

Outstanding. Fully mature and drinking very well. Bright but restrained fruit on the nose, and cherry and tea notes most prominent while tasting. Silky smooth all around. I've been drinking W-S for years, and this one was in the top few I've ever enjoyed.

Cherry, spice, herbs, long finish. Still in great shape, but the next day, under vacuum seal, it was almost shot. I’d say, drink up!
