  Medium light ruby with a light bramble nose. Dry, tart red currants, ripe straw berries and some cane tannins. Sour sorrel, balsam, cane pith contribute to the freshness and balance of the fruit and acid.

  Updated: on day 2, no question, this wine is corked.
  
  My wife's nose is better than mine and she claimed to detect the faintest hint of cork taint when we opened this. Although I didn't smell TCA, the wine definitely came across as a bit muted on the nose, lacking the strong strawberry scents mentioned in many other tasting notes. Pale garnet in the glass, nice balance of fruit and acidity, but again a bit muted and muddled. I'm a fan of the 2011 vintage and have several more of these, so I'll cross my fingers for better results.

  Very light ruby with a nose of ripe strawberries. Dry with light acid and fruit, soft well integrated tannins with a hint of bitter. Restrained with a light body, strawberry and earthy mineral, some balsam, 88 pts on opening.

  Part of 2011 Oregon Pinot Noir tasting.
  - On the nose lighter red cherry and red raspberry notes.
  - Good acid, raspberry and light earthy note.
