Close to three years ago, Michael expressed a desire to revisit this wine in two years... if he did so, I'll wager that he would affirm that it has developed beautifully. This limpid beauty has emerged with its cran-cherry fruit core intact, volatility dissipated, and with attractive nuances of spice and a touch of forest floor earthiness. Despite its Bench origin, it reminds me of nothing so much as one of the better pinots from Coyotes Run, and it's just now entering its prime... none left in my cellar, though!
