Earthy, meaty, leathery, darkly fruited. Class, breed, finesse. Classic old school Ribbon Ridge Pinot. This wine needed these 15 years to express all that. I expect at least another five years of aging potential.

2008 was a beautiful vintage in Oregon! Burgundian-esque - earthy notes with a smooth finish. Worth the wait!
