I should let Rob review this since it was his call at dinner at Hot and Hot with our wives and the Olivers. I turned my nose up at a pinot noir but I couldn't stop drinking this. It was great. I took many small sips denying the beef eaters a chance to drink red wine with their meal. I always find Pinot a little light but this one stood out. The winery web site describes the 2003 as "A bit darker than the average Pinot, the wine shows bright cherry and ripe cranberry aromas, with hints of sandalwood and menthol. On the palate there’s more juicy red fruit, like a good strawberry/rhubarb pie. The lingering finish is crisp and refreshing. While quite soft and enjoyable now, it will repay cellaring for several years." Whatever. I just know I need to find this wine locally.

I was having too much fun at dinner and didn't make any specific tasting notes. I can say this was an excellent PN. Smooth and a little bolder than the average PN. I had fish and it was fine with it.
I'm not a rigid follower of white with seafood or red with meat. But usually I follow that convention. Ultimately whatever tastes good with the food is what makes me happy.
I managed to get a little of this before Shawn drained the bottle. It was tasty, for sure. Then again, Don't recally any of the specifics. Great good, wine and company overshadowed any specific thoughts I had about this spirit.
