(From our cellar, drinking like a beauty, just shy of our last bottle for greatness. 😉)

Plenty of fruit left. High acid and typical of their style

Might be the best bottle on 2004 yet, just a fantastic wine to enjoy from the cellar; pop, pour, smile hard! Glad we've been buying for almost 20Y. 😉

2004; Ripe cherry, sweet cherries, mahogany shavings, damp soil. 2H decant, more time needed. Just under a case left here, actual notes on future bottles.

So...I had a birthday a couple weeks back, due to scheduling my regular bottle finishing team wasn't available until now, so we're finally doing it up in my grand, unique style.

Notes possibly tomorrow, scores honestly tonight.

Decanted 10H.

24-Hour Update:
Nope...Kinda fell apart overnight, funky plum notes today.
Drink subsequent bottles in one sitting.

Wonderful. Perfectly balanced. Bright fruit and cinnamon. Long finish. Bought it 10 years ago+

Really sensational older ripe-style Pinot. Really effusive, exotic fruit and spice notes merge with a thick veneer of oak. For most other wines, this would be too much, but it's definitely holding together. Drink now or in 5+.

Mardi gras 2022 wine. Perfect Oregon Pinot. Earthy, slightly funky, wonderfully balanced. Could drink this every night.
