Just took one of these to our company Christmas dinner, along with a '93 Pedroncelli cab and a '07 Crucible. I thought for sure that the Crucible would be the favorite, but everyone raved about this Pinot noir. I have to admit, the restaurant didn’t know how to decant a wine to save their life, so the Crucible definitely needed more time to open up before we downed it (and it was still delicious), but this PN was beautiful with limited aeration / decanting.
Since we are an office of 4 people, I was watching this Woot-off like a hawk, since I knew this 2-pack was coming up from the email Clark had sent out. In for 3, and everyone is getting a pair of these beauties for Christmas.
Simply one of the best bottles I’ve ever had from Winesmith. And I’m not even really a PN guy.
