  April 28, 2012 - There was about a week in August when the temperature in Portland was ridiculously high (by Portland standards)- triple digits and high nineties. As such, this mini-heatwave has (for better or worse) predisposed my impression of '09 Willamette Valley Pinot Noirs, approaching them like 2003's & 2006's (both hot summers begining to end), expecting ultra-ripe fruit and correspondingly big-bodied Pinots. However, the one key element I continue to forget is that the weather spring and early summer was quite subdued.
  This is a very roundabout way to say this particular bottle, while certainly showing qualities of a warm summer, is at it's core a really nicely balanced wine. Make no mistake, this is a full-bodied Pinot, but it also has a wonderful acidic spine that helps round out the plush fruit. Additionally, there's some nice tannins helping to further define and refine the fruit. Not a heavy-hitter, but certainly a nice wine for the price.

  September 28, 2011 - Decent but simple Pinot. Represents the typical Oregon flavor profile and doesn't fade too much on second day.
