Cherry and earth, nicely balanced acids. This took a while to open up but by the second glass this is really tasting nicely. Vidon makes some lovely wines and this is very enjoyable.

Opened the bottle and poured a couple of glasses and let sit for 30 minutes and then drank over next hour and a half. Bouquet was very nice right away and complexity and depth improved over the evening. The taste never quite got there for me. The finish was short and a little green. So while my wife and I both enjoyed it, we were both underwhelmed. I will wait several months before opening another bottle and may leave open for a little longer next time.

Brief notes from impromptu wine night. Bright red fruits, cranberry, rhubarb some tart cherry. Nice streak of acidity. The French oak helps to provide a nice creamy mouthfeel. Seamless tannins. This will hold but not sure it will improve much. Nice bottle.

2 Days in the Valley- Day 1 (Willamette Valley, OR): nose: There is a nice coolness to the tones of red fruits, red florals, spices and fresh picked berries. Very aromatic with nice balance to it and decent depth.
taste: Very pretty medium feel with medium+ acidity and balanced tones of red fruits, red cherries, roses and some spice tones.
overall: I really like the cool qualities to the fruit on both the nose and palate. This is a very attractive pinot that leans more towards the upper register.

Nose - perfumed, floral,
Mouth - elegant, lively, bright red fruit, juicy, fresh, minerally. Good stuff. I think this will get better with bottle age.
