Tasting Notes 2005 Dusky Goose Pinot noir Distinctive, seductive, hugely concentrated, and unforgettable. Scents are awesomely complex. The 2005 Dusky Goose Pinot noir unfolds on the taster's palate with mouth-watering flavors and should evolve gloriously. Made by Lynn Penner Ash. Seamlessly lush and constantly evolving, the 05 Dusky Goose again shows why it is an Avalon favorite. The nose opens with oodles of black fruit, with a brightness (freshness) that lifts the aromas from the glass. Truffled cream intertwines with dried herbs, rose petals, and cocoa powder.
The finish is full of subtle spice and barrel toast, mixing with sweet black fruit and re-emerging creamy truffle notes. After many seconds, super-fine tannins move like a feather around your mouth. The 05 Dusky evolves with each taste, one minute offering lushness, the next putting on a darker element and showing exotic barrel spice. The 2005 Dusky Goose: proof that sophistication and elegance can coexist with opulence in an Oregon Pinot noir. Made from 45% Ramboillet Vineyard fruit (vineyard owned by Dusky Goose) and 55% Goldschmidt/Winderlea VIneyard, the 2005 is a combination of Pinot noir clones: Old Vine Pommard, Young Vine Pommard, 828 and 777 clones, and a small amount of 114 and 115 clones.
