  Takes 30 minutes to hit its stride. Gorgeous stem, spice and black cherry aromas. Palate has terrific concentration and layers. Well balanced. At peak.

  Mature Pinot drank with a chicken pasta dish. Cherry, earth. Plenty of tannin remaining. a bit more rustic than other Cristom's from '05. I have one more of these and will drink in the next 3 years.

  Another great example of Cristom wines. Loads of all-spice on the nose with lots of dark ripe fruits, black cherries and blackberries. The palate is surprisingly balanced (medium bodied) with plenty of primary fruit still present. The finish is nice with tannin still present. There's an ever so slight bitterness on the finish that I hope will fade with some more time.
  
  This wine is still young and not even close to being over the hill. I'd imagine it will just come into it's drinking window in 3-5 years.

  i think it is past the peak for sure, brick color in the rim and earthiness with fruit in the back. enjoyable should pair with light meat or lamb
