Cost: unknown (gift from Winetex). Thank You, Winetex.

Winetex told me that it is ready to go. And, right she was. It's ready to go. No need to hold. No real need to decant either, 15-30 max. Open & enjoy.

Very pinot-like. Very Oregon pinot-like. Mostly tasted cherry & fruity. Aroma is nice, the body is light to bordering medium. Very smooth & easy going & tasty pinot. Nice, smooth, pleasant med finish. Not too short, not too long. Not bad.

Overall: a nice bottle of Pinot, enjoyable & pleasant.

Rating: 88 (on the Pinot scale that is).

LCC - that's about what I would rate it. I thought you might want to try an Oregon Pinot. It improved a bit after opening and was better with the food than w/o, similar to a European wine.

We are going to drink the remaining bottles in the next few months as this is a nice wine that is ready to drink in the short term.

Right you are again. I actually forgot to post that. Damn (had it in my mind to mention). As, I did, in fact, notice that. It is considerably better with food than w/o. Thanks for posting/reminding me of that.
