Very thin, but a nice elegant nose for the top third of the bottle, that then completely disappeared. Very muted barely-Pinot taste. 2007 was a light vintage but was expecting more from this highly-regarded vineyard. On the points scale maybe an 88 for the top third of the bottle and below-80s for the rest.

(Shea Wine Cellars Estate Pinot Noir) COLOR-dark; NOSE-very distinct; like pickles; very green, herbacous aspect; bell pepper, basil; also some red cranberries; PALATE-great tannins; a little dusty chalkiness; matches my palate very well; GV-No Score

Waited too long to open and had cork issues. That said, silk retained a silky texture but flavor profile was somewhat obscured.

Nose of mineral and lightly herbal, flavor is cranberries. Delicate, and a bit thin due to its age. Enjoyable.
