After attending a Yamhill Carlton Growers tasting last night with a 2008 retrospective, it seemed like the right time to open this bottle. A solid 10! Couldn’t ask for anything more in this wine. Better than just about anything I tasted yesterday from Y-C in 08. This wine is genius

Nuanced, subtle, elegant, with a lot going on beneath the surface. The 08's are showing really well right now. Is there anything sexier than a well made pinot?

Great vintage with some bottle age. Everything is well integrated. Tannins smoothing out beautifully.
