Community Tasting Note

Friday, May 20, 2011 - Wow, this is a very intense wine. Big strawberry, rhubarb, blackberry nose with a hint of sweet grape juice. (not in a bad way though) Bright, full palate, medium-full bodied flavors of cherry, blackberry, rhubarb, and a distinct minerality that reminds me of chalk and granite. While the intensity here is full-on, the structure stands up, and the acidity is super-bright, cleaning the palate off in the finish but not killing the finish. The finish lasts easily 30 seconds, or more. Easily the best 2009 Oregon Pinot Noir I have tasted so far. This is a high intensity wine no doubt, but it goes about this so well due to the structure. Killer wine.
