Coravin'd from magnum and enjoyed over several days. Solid color with a thin, clear rim. Gently spicy nose with cinnamon, Asian spices and a fresh herbal note. Lovely soft texture that is lifted and supported by fresh but not at all obtrusive acidity. There's a sweetness to the ripe flavors of red cherry and cranberry. A very lovely 2007 that is drinking very well right now through 2016.

This surprised me with both the amount of fruit and the perky acidity. Strawberry, raspberry, cherry. All the same, it lacked elegance or definition.One to drink soon Went well with roast chicken. Not the best QPR of the vintage.

Somewhat disappointed here....expected more of this.....Is it ready?...earthy nose.......the taste is somewhat shallow....some black cherry and spice....but no depth of flavor...and the finish is weak for a leading pinot like this....not a great experience for the price

Doing Pinot Noirs Blind, Covid-Style, in Seattle (Seattle, WA): Either this wine is WAY over the hill, or it was a bad bottle. Very distinct Hoisin sauce nose. Umami. Sweet palate presence, but the fruit is all stewed. Nasty.

Better than I expected. Lightweight but also with lots of flavor and depth. This was smooth, with some earth and with a nice, balanced finish.
