Opened this last night. I must be in the minority here but I found this wine to be out of balance, massive and really over the top. It just seemed to be too hot and lacking in acidity to bring everything together. Tough to really pair this with anything besides red meat, which is a shame because pinot should in theory be a grape that begs for food. Not terrible by any stretch, just disappointing for the price tag.

obviously way to young to properly judge this wine, but this is one of the better 2007 Oregon PN's I have had. Quite dark, bright red berries on the palate and with a nice, long finish.
