I loved it, but if you've still got some, drink it now. Nice balance, good acidity but enough offsetting tannins. ark fruit, had with double-cream brie and mushroom tarts. Earthy feel complimented the food well.

What a difference ANOTHER four years made...Opened a bottle last night. Structure to beat the band. Great favors, cherries and a bit of tobacco. This still is callerable to my mind. Darn, only one bottle left!

Gee what a difference a year makes. The cherries are now vibrant on the front of the palate and there is a decent somewhat clipped finish. I dont think it is long term cellar material but it is a great drink today with wild salmon and grilled Vidalias. Only regret is drinking half the order too early- IMO all of the single vineyard and reserve Oregon pinots take more time than the domestic experts suggest, treat them like 1er material or at least good village wine.

Not improved after 6 months. I dont get this wine- it has a hint of ripe cherries on the nose but it disintegrates in the mouth, with no finesse or finish. Winemaker says its tannic so maybe more time will help.

A rather simple one dimensional wine.Dont think time will help but will wait a while before opening the next one.
