Community Tasting Note

Friday, June 12, 2009 - After several bottles of this, and advice from Elise to drink it this year, I have waited long enough. I drank my 2nd to last bottle and enjoyed it greatly. The nose gave up dry earth, or perhaps a bit of "forest," and dried flowers. It was nearly all brick red, with a bit of deeper red in the middle. In the mouth it was remarkably big, full and still with hints of blackfruit or dried cherries - a quick burst of intense flavors and then a long finish I can't adequately describe. Some acidity in the mouth and finish did not detract, but added to the overall complexity. This is perhaps one of the best 3 Oregon/US pinots I've had. I don't think it will hold much longer, or if it does, I am not sure how it will evolve: perhaps all VA acidity and leathery-ness? ...just not sure, so I'll drink the last bottle this summer.
