11/30/2013 - atl10trader Likes this wine: 90 pointsTricky wine to serve. Avoid main meal pairings. It's a cocktail wine in the finest sense. Best served at beginning of meal. Not a overly sweet wine. Notes of preserved lemons and a trace of acidity. |

2007 Beacon Hill Estate Pinot NoirYamhill-Carlton more |
11/18/2013 - atl10trader Likes this wine: 89 pointsLots of range in the previous comments by others. My second bottle tasted about 10 months since the first. Observations: time favors this wine and it is coming into its own now and in 2014. Green notes turn into cinnamon and cherry and the barrel, tannins are well integrated. It is a different profile than the typical Willamette Pinot which can explain some of the disappointment. It tastes much Burgundian than American with its emphasis on structure in the midpalette (oak, vanilla). So I judge it relative to other Burgundian and find it a nice try and enjoyable. |
