THis bottle was an 07 vintage and well past its peak. Had taste bordering on a vermouth and the rose tint was slightly more reddish brown. Did not cellar well.

Very dry with strong btie from start to finish. Smell of cherry and a hint of cedar. Past it's prime and I'll use the rest for a marinade.

North Willamette Vintner's Wine Trail Weekend; 4/9/2011-4/10/2011: Very slight pour, so hard to really tell... this did have some nice lightly fruited aromas, with nice spiciness. The palate and finish were similarly spicy... hard to tell, but it seemed nice.

North Willamette Vintner's Wine Trail Weekend; 4/9/2011-4/10/2011: Way worse than last year. Really funky, nastiness on the nose, with some sweetness. Sweet again on the palate, with tart, generic sweet, slightly rotting apples. The finish is really bitter and tart, showing rotting apple pie. Really funky and chemical driven. I didn't note anything attractive about the texture this time.

North Willamette Vintner's Wine Trail Weekend; 4/9/2011-4/10/2011: Pretty funky, nasty oak on the nose, with some rotting chemically rubber band. The palate is much nicer, though, showing some pleasing large fruit that's quite lush, coupled with bright acid. Pretty decent. The finish shows nice acid and tart fruit. Smooth throughout, though the nose is definitely off putting compared to the showing last year.

North Willamette Vintner's Wine Trail Weekend; 4/9/2011-4/10/2011: Showed much better than last year. The aromas are slightly nasty green apple sourness... like that of fermenting apples. There's more funky green apples on the palate, with mild acids, and this really nasty metallic streak. Similar on the finish; raspy metallic fruit that has been sitting in a barn for too long.

Pretty blackberry fruit, old wood and rubber aromas. Tight on the palate, tart blackberries, cherries along with gentle tannins. Balanced acidity. Smells and tastes good, nicely balanced wine overall. It could use another year in bottle, but drinking good enough now. 88+

The palate reminds me of drinking spiced apple cider, this has an oxidized flavor as well, not sure if they were going for that or what. Yellow apples, lightly sweet, with a weird, limp acidity. Not my style.

North Willamette Vintner's Wine Trail Weekend; 4/10/2010-4/11/2010: On the nose, rancid squash, stringy mold growing on the inside of a carved pumpkin. Very creamy on the palate and soft... feels like silk on the tongue... definitely more about the texture than the flavors for me, and the flavors are quite light. Again, mild on the finish.

North Willamette Vintner's Wine Trail Weekend; 4/10/2010-4/11/2010: Bottled just four weeks ago. Nice barrel funk and spice on the nose, some logan berries, and red apple skins. Really pleasing strawberry ice cream flavors on the palate. Good, well rounded finish. Nice wine, though the pour was incredibly slight. Not sure if I'd be so fond if I had more?

North Willamette Vintner's Wine Trail Weekend; 4/10/2010-4/11/2010: Big crisp acids on the nose, tart granny smith apple skins too. More apple skins on the palate, but what the hell happens on the finish? This got really nasty, with really bad tree bark funk, sap, and nasty bitterness. Really no good on the finish...

Used as a cooking wine w/prime rib recipe. Had a glass w/what was left from the bottle. Nose of cherry and light earth, a soft, kind of flabby pinot at this point.
No reason to hang onto, but a good value at $12 or so at Fred Meyer.

Very nice nose of cherry, and only slight wiff of earth...unlike many Oregon pinots. A smooth, almost elegant wine, soft tannins for such a warm vintage...and fantastic value for $11 & change. 2nd day did not note any improvement in the flavor profile. A solid wine, and outstanding value in Oregon pinot noir.
