Drinking extremely well right now, very surprised and pleased and holding up much better then anticipated. Paired at a Chaine induction dinner with roasted quail at Mimosa Grill in Charlotte NC and this was a near perfect match. Mature but does not feel over the hill at all - would definitely recommend drinking any remaining holdings now. Very dark red, soft mouth feel, completely integrated and pleasant medium long aftertaste. Nose of some initial light barnyard funk which quickly blew off to show red cherry, baking spices and some tar with up front palate of red cherry and strawberry morphing into a more floral and spicy finish. Definitely recommend but drink this up now.

Smoke, toast has integrated nicely, plum, great dark cherry/plum rich fragrance, surprisingly good for an 07.

I prefer a softer Pinot and this was very "un-07ish" for my palate. Not a bad wine, just a bit big for an 07 which is a WV vintage I really love
