  Opened 2 plus hours before tasting. Similarly impressive to the 2015 Louise vineyard we had last night. Impressive nose, complexity and length. This is seriously good Burgundian style Pinot

  Upon opening tonight the ‘15 Jessie came off as a pleasant enough representation of blue fruit forward Eola-Hills volcanic terroir Pinot. Several hours in with no decant and only slow-ox exposure this gets more complex with rich cola and 5 spice notes and lingering finish. Nothing earth shaking although more than decent company for Alaska sockeye cedar plank salmon.

  Color: bright ruby
  Nose: cherry, flowers
  Taste: cherries, spice, flowers
  This had lots of fruit upfront with few secondary flavors, a touch of flowers and spice with no real finish to describe. I am a bit disappointed - had hoped for more. Not sure this has the stuff to go for a long time. Best part was the upfront fruit. Enjoy with lighter foods.

  I had much higher hopes for this wine having tasted other vintages so in some ways this is a big disappointment. Yes, it was very very nice, but perhaps this wine is still going through a clumsy phase? It wasn't as elegant as I generally find their Eileen bottlings to be and it seemed to be very blueberry focused and lacking in depth.
  
  Interestingly, there are a lot of bottles still in people's cellars - so I opened it way too early? Also, while the tasting scores are generally pretty high, the individual descriptions are all over the place, leading me to conclude that this is a wine that is still finding itself. I have more bottles and will open my next in a few more years to check on its progress.
