Tasted after 3 hours of air. Medium garnet color with some bricking. Some spicy red berry fruits. Very interesting. No guessing this is a 14 year old wine. The spicy notes just hang on the palate. They don't fade. This was supposed to be a terrible vintage in Oregon. Hogwash. This wine is drinking great now. So much going on with this I can't figure it out. Very interesting. Kudos to the wine making team at Willakenzie.

This has a nice dark fruit flavor and is a big wine for the 2007 vintage. Decanted for an hour but it was still tight until it had been in the glass for ten minutes or so.

Really lovely and silky. Approaching a richer burg style in some ways. Much more restrained than one would expect for a US PN. Silky red fruits. Nice acid balance. More fruit driven than deep soubois one might expect from fine burg', but some evidence and nice development. Lovely.

Just getting better with time, luscious and round but not over the top.
