Red cherries, strawberries, oak (American?) and spice on the nose.
Fruit forward palate of cherries and strawberries. Lush and fruity, spice and acidity enter mid-palate. Medium finish. 13.9% alcohol not obtrusive. Quite good for the style.

The nose is deft and balanced with fresh herbs, red cherries, violets, raspberry, earth, crushed rocks, and some baking spices. I like the complexity, but the tones are more sitting on the surface rather than showing off depth. The Medium bodied feel is balanced and fresh with tart medium+ acidity and silky, medium tannins. This is a nice and fresh Pinot Noir, but it lacks depth on the nose and palate that better Pinots will show.

garnet colour with some opacity and light- to medium-bodied in the glass. the nose is a pleasant brew of black cherries and currants, forest dust, and drying lavender. this earthy aspect first hits the palate and then the fruit uncoils enjoyably with both elements in good tension. moderate acidity and moderate finish.
very interesting wine. i suspect that a little more bottle age and/or aeration would come in handy.

Jerry: Loved this. Depth, complex layers of red fruits, brooding, earthy.

"Global Pinot Noir Tasting" (K&L Redwood City): 13.9%, sourced from a number of different Willamette Valley, around 30% whole-cluster.
