It is a lovely and balanced cab. Very Oregon! It has beautiful fruit but not too forward. Very enjoyable and should be able to last several more years although I'm not sure it will improve.

Very elegant, quality wine. Bright but not overpowering red fruit, some nice minerality in midpalate, different flavors from night 1 to 2 and as it was drunk (complex I think!) Very nice Oregon style with maybe a touch more fruit than average.

This is the 2008 Alexana Pinot Noir Dundee Hills. They did not label this 2008 vintage wine the "Revana" Vineyard - even though its identical to the 2007 & 2009 Alexana Pinot Revana Vineyards. Same estate fruit/vineyard, winemaker (Lynn Penner-Ash - who's style is a beautiful match with this fruit), philosophy, etc.
This is a beautiful Oregon pinot.

Dinner w/Erin & Craig; paired w/ Copper River salmon - sensational!
Stylistically, a balance between new & old world.
