Most 09s showed what they were about right out the gate - rich, full bodied, near term drinkers. Here's an exception that is just starting to show itself. Fine, elegant, spicy, long, fresh, complex and nuanced. Drink now to 15+ years.

Lovely 19 year-old Pinot Noir. Subtle nose, soft nose, lots of dark fruit. Drank very nicely after a 45 minute decant.

2013 vintage. Light body but full of spice, zest and cedaresque tannins. Old-school Oregon style pinot. Delicious and would be a great food wine paired with the usual suspects.
