Community Tasting Note

Monday, August 4, 2008 - Beautiful crimson purple red, lightening to a salmon hue at rim. Ostentatious, warm, spicy, subtle oak and explosive mulled plum/damson/ripe red cherry very open nose. Later some secondary lanolin, wet wool, and some herbacious earthiness, emerge. Big (for a pinot), dryish and fruit oriented palate - primary at first. Over time a delicious compote of cranberries and sour red cherries takes over on the very adequate finish. Pomegranites, strawberries, yada yada. Settling in over the course of 4 hours to a civilized, almost subdued, typical, but still tasty Oregon pinot noir. Medium bodied. Amazing QPR. Drink now (recommend a 1-2 hour decant) or over the 6-8 years.
