Remember the 2001? These wines continue to get better as the consumer continues to be patient.

Thomas, now that you mention it, the wine is more Burgundian, probably in part to the weather patterns that year! Thanks to both of you for your comments!

Yes, it's on the high-end of the price scope for me for this wine type/style, but the bright fruit is pretty great. Nice post, somehow I was attracted by the 'high-maintenance drama queen' premise ;). I’ve had the Signature Cuvee and thought it was also outstanding.

I love Oregon Pinot noir and even though the 2007 vintage was said to be a little suspect because of the cool and rainy conditions, I find the 07' to be very elegant and perhaps a bit more Burgundian in style.

I've tried to relegate my research to restaurant by the glass tastings or flight tastings at a local wine bar. Easier to dump $10+ to sample three offerings than to be utterly disappointed with a $50+ bottle. Josh The WVV Signature Cuvee was special Yep, $50 is not chump change.
