Maysara Pinot Noir Cuvee 07
Maysara Pinot Noir Cuvee 07 - Recommended by Avalon- lovely, complex, rich, great aging potential.
Wine Enthusiast Magazine, Cellar Selection: "Bigger, darker, bolder and more alcoholic than the winery's reserve, this is another fine effort. Depending upon your preference (power vs. elegance) you may or may not prefer it over the more restrained reserve. Full, fleshy, youthful and structured to age."

Wine & Spirits, 91 points: - "Lipstick red in color, this wine manages to be immensely packed without being excessively sweet or fruity; its dry angularity reminds one of young Burgundy. But it's all Oregon in its ferrous red cherry flavors, the dry earthiness in the aroma, crisp and sharp as a fall day. Impressive now, the flavors will meld with time; lay down, then open up for pancetta-wrapped quail." June 2003
Northwest Palate, Highly Recommended:
"Aromas of black cherry, caramel toast, and faint stem. Concentrated black cherry fruit and menthol flavors balance youthful tannins and barrel toast in the juicy finish. Match with roast beef tenderloin." May/June 2003
Wine Press Northwest, Recommended Tasting Notes:
Solid brick red color with a black fruit and cocoa nose. Explosive mid-palate, vibrant acidity and soft middle grain tannins. Very long and persistent finish of black cherry and bittersweet chocolate. Expected to improve for at least 10 years.
"This enjoyable Pinot Noir from a young winery offers aromas of moist earth, raspberries and spicy oak with flavors of ripe black cherries and hints of creamy vanilla. Sweet, silky tannins give it youthful approachability." Summer 2003
