2008 Bernard Machado Pinot Noir La CanteraWillamette Valley more |
8/17/2015 - Jack howland Likes this wine: NRLithe and delicate, this pinot differs from the other vintages I've had from the producer in that this one lacks the ample acidity and berry notes. This one is much more lighter bodied, with the emphasis on herbal and floral notes. However, as with the 2002 and 2005 vintages (only other ones I've had), this 2008 exhibits pleasing aromas of earth and barnyard. The color is very light colored brick and is starting to brown a bit. |

5/25/2015 - Jack howland Likes this wine: 91 pointsWith aromas of mushrooms, earth, and barnyard, this ten year old pinot was not lacking in bright fruit flavors or ample acidity. This is a great example of what a Willamette Valley pinot can do when allowed to cellar. Certainly glad I have another bottle! |

3/9/2015 - Jack howland Likes this wine: 91 pointsOne year ago to the day, we visited the Willamette Valley and dined at this amazing Italian restaurant and ordered this very bottle of wine and we’re amazed at how well it was holding up after a dozen+ years. The wine was just such a perfect accompaniment to the evening. |

2/14/2011 - sethmorgenlong wrote: NRCork totally disintegrated; wish I had had an ah-so! Dark translucent cherry red with a thin watery red rim. A bit hazy. Bouquet of black tea, crayon, menthol, dried cherry cream, pine and churned earth. |

4/6/2010 - sethmorgenlong wrote: NRRich, dark and surprisingly dense appearance, nose and palate. Fruit is front and center: notes of black cherry, raspberry juice, tea, cola and earthy hints of elegance. Wonderful wine, I imagine it will age gracefully with a tightly knit but soft and velvety structure, moderate acidity and plush fruit. |
