2003 Hip Chicks do Wine Reserve Pinot Noir

[dananne]

OK, so we've now had about 2 years to drink the wines we got on our visit at Hip Chicks, and I'll say this: by and large, the wines aren't on the serious side, though they seem to take care in their Reserve Pinot and their single-vineyard Syrah. That having been said, almost everything seems to have tasted better at the winery than they do now. I'm not sure if that says more about us or about the wines. We had the Syrah recently, and it's not getting any better. We had the last bottle of the '03 Pinot Noir last night, and it had clearly lost something since the last bottle. Maybe it was just in a dumb phase, but I'm more inclined to say it's just falling apart. So, short story long, drink up early.
