2002 Scherrer Pinot Noir Fort Ross Vineyard 'High Slopes'

I'm a huge fan of Fred's wines, but this one disappointed me, as did the standard 'Fort Ross Vineyard' bottling of the same year - perhaps just not my style. While there is a nice core of blueberry and fresh strawberry, I'm finding too much oak and a bit of astringency, which surprises me for a pinot noir of this vintage, at nearly 6 years aged. Bodyfeel is very silky and nicely weighted, but I'm still getting some heat on the tail end of the flavor profile and the finish, and that is not something I expected, particularly considering the price and skill of the wine maker.
