Saturday, May 29, 2010 - Good, young, vibrant Pinot Noir color. Aromatically, soaring intensity here, wow, really amazing classic, spicy pinot noir aromatics. Great intensity. In the mouth, things are somewhat disjointed at this juncture, the wine seems to be made up more of its component parts at this point as opposed to a whole, come together type of wine experience. That said, all that is needed is time for the parts to come together to be a classic oregon pinot noir. The wine is NOT lacking fruit, in fact it has fruit in abundance but the fruit is fairly compact, dense and a little tough to break into right now. With the acids and tannin somewhat obtuse at this point, it is no surprise that this wine requires at least 6 months to come together and will likely benefit from extended cellaring. A very good wine today with big upside potential, my score does not account for anything other that what the wine is showing today and a healthy portion of that is based upon the killer aromatics.
