This is from a winery up near Eugene Oregon and I've had some wonderful Pinots from there. They are small but very well regarded locally. The 2006 is a very light, translucent red elixir. The nose is still rather closed but a light black cherry and citrus is clear. The first sip shows a light tart fruit with a nice solid middle and structure. The finish is a lasting tart tannin that is well balanced with the fruit. This wine has been in the cellar for over a year, its delightful but the tannin will soon outweigh the fruit. 88, good now, time to drink it.

Fair-to-middlin' Pinot Noir. There wasn't anything about this bottle that was really bad or good. Just nice, run o' the mill Oregon Pinot.

Burgundian style Oregon Pinot with nice nose, balanced fruit: raspberry/cranberry with lingering mineral and leathers. Tasty qpr

Needed a little air but once it did turned into a very nice balanced pinot.
