Review:

The 2010 vintage, made in the traditional port method, has just the right amount of residual sugar to balance the wine while keeping the Pinot noir's pure expression in an elegant dessert wine. Wine Press Northwest (April 2012) - "This wine leads with aromas of raspberry fruit leather, woodruff, fresh mint and cigar leaf. Flavors turn slightly toward strawberry fruit leather, backed by Red Hots candy. It offers pleasing sweetness at 6% residual sugar, which is balanced by good acidity. Their suggested pairing with Dark Chocolate Hazelnut Toffee Bark is worth trying."

2009 Vintage Tasting Notes

2009 Tanzer - 92 points - Bright red. Perfumed bouquet evokes candied red berries, cherry pie and orange marmalade, with musky herb and spice notes adding complexity. Sweet and broad, with gently viscous red fruit preserve flavors. Wild stuff, offering an appealing blend of richness and energy; weighty but not thick. The sweet finish clings with very good sappy intensity. This would be superb with Oregon's Rogue Creamery Smokey Blue cheese, which is a must-try, by the way. - Josh Raynolds
