The wine looks ruby colored. The legs are slow. There is no sediment in the bottle. It smells like mushroom, dust, dust, medium toast, cedar, strawberry and black currant (cassis). It tastes like cherry, mushroom, cedar and vanilla. The body is medium. The wine has smooth texture. The wine finishes long. The wine has medium acidity. Drink now.

It's been almost 9 months since the last bottle I tried. This one is a bit better but they're at/just past their prime, if there were such a thing for this particular vintage of Cristom. Subtle nose of black cherry and vanilla. Very smooth with almost no trace of tannins. Drink up.

This wine needs a bit more time, hence the lower than avg score I'd expect to give a Willamette Valley pinot. Very tight. Took a while to open up but once it did, it showed some good promise. I have plenty more and will revisit it in 5 or 6 months.
