  Tasted after 1 hour of air. Medium garnet color. Bright cherry fruit. This is still drinking great. I picked this up about a year ago on WineBid. Guessing this was direct from the Wineries' library stock. Big pop on the mid palate. Interesting tang. Some spice. Excellent.

  Clear light ruby. Brilliant 2007 Oregon Pinot; one of the best I've had from this vantage. Light bodied but good, firm fruit. Red cherry. Has just the lightest touch of harshness at the finish, which I have found with a number of 2007's, but this is definitely secondary to the positive aspects of the wine. In a very good place now; required nearly no decant -- open and drinkable right away. Drink now or for near-term; has good acidity to hold for at least the next 2-3 years.

  Not bad. Light and oaky,which seems typical for many in this vintage.

  Wonderful, silky, medium body with good acidity. Lovely flavors of red cherries, with impressions of wildflowers, spices and lots of fresh picked strawberries. Very complex, and though on the lighter side, still bringing good depth. Wish I had more.

  A ton of shitty 07 OR Pinots (Patricia Green Cellars, Newburg OR): nose: very perfumed and complex nose that has a nebbiolo-esque quality to it filled with tones of red fruits, roasted herbs, red cherries, wild flowers and loads of spice tones
  
  taste: silken medium body with medium/high acidity and lovely tones of red fruits, roasted herbs, fields of wildflowers, red cherries, spices and lots of fresh picked strawberries. Very complex, and though on the lighter side, still bringing good depth
  
  overall: This was a gorgeous wine. Silky and very aromatic, this grabbed my attention right away with its beauty. This could definitely use another couple of years to sand down the edges, but lovely she is
