Paul: FWIW, here is my cellar tracker review of a 2007 Lemelson Meyer Vineyard Pinot, which of course, totally agrees with your observations. Thanks for posting about this important topic.
3/2/2025 - I like this wine: 93 points (Edit)
Fun. Cherries and raspberries still on the initial palate, smooth and elegant. Many of the '07s were tart in their youth, that was not there. Proof that Oregon Pinots can age well, maybe even better from vintages not as highly touted. I've got a couple more 07s, and while not in a hurry, I'd guess they are about as good as they're going to get.

Thanks Steve! I don't have a particularly deep cellar, so your input is especially valuable and much appreciated!
Paul; we’re finding something about the building housing American 35 being sold. Is the gig still on?
March 22nd, 6 to 8:30. Friends of the Devil will be there.
