Review:

A deep ruby colored wine. It has impressive aromas of Bing cherries, red plums, hibiscus and wild mushrooms. The smooth, ripe tannins give a voluptuous texture to the mixed berry, black cherry and cocoa flavors of the wine. A hint of white pepper adds further complexity to the lively and seamless finish.

Robert Parker rated (88) "This brilliantly hued red wine has delicate aromas of strawberry and rose petal with more complex scents of autumn leaves and chocolate layered in . On the palate, it exhibits classic bright cherry flavors with hints of hibiscus, beetroot and red licorice. The wine is lithe and crisp with fine grained tannins that provide a nice framework to the silky mid-palate."

Previous vintage tasting notes: A very varietal Pinot in the classic Burgundian mode. Refined flavors include black pepper, allspice, blackberry and a hint of smoke. Medium weight suggests near term consumption, so don't hesitate to enjoy its considerable charm now. This mid-Willamette Valley winery regularly delivers top value. - Oregon Wine Press
