So glad this “lost” cellar bottle was still in good shape. Candied and lightly stewed cherries, white mushroom, cardamom, cedar forest floor... all integrated, nothing overt. But, this is a big lush 14.9% Pinot ... New World, in a good way. Thanks, Helen.

Impromptu meet up at Classic! Having a relaxing Friday afternoon with good friends and good wine makes for a perfect start to a weekend!

I was only able to enjoy this from pop and pour until about 30mins later when I needed to leave, but as I was leaving, this was full steam ahead drop dead gorgeous! Black cherry, muddled raspberries, cocoa dusted cherries. Clay and herbal complexities on the palate with a finish that brought about some bark/sandalwood. Wonderful!

Ripe deep red cherry, cedar chips, a dash of vanilla and chocolate covered strawberries. Very lush. Not Blue Ridge Slide lush...but lush is lush.

06’ Marcassin Three Sisters Pinot Noir. Stunning. Raspberry. Long and lingering finish. Outstanding bottle with a 3-5 great years in it prime!

Unbelievably rich, supple, and well balanced. Great notes of cherry mixed with earthy tones and a nice structural backbone. Perfect to drink now. And you'll feel like you're drinking something special.

Was very excited, but I fear it already peaked and color was beyond bricking.
