A pre-birthday visit to some new places in the Willamette Valley: Light aromas and light color, again. Lighter on the palate than the Labyrinth, this shows tart fruit and nice acid; really, it's all tight structure right now. The finish is very very smooth, starting out very tight but then slowly coming out of its shell a little. Still, just too tight, but this has the structure to open up in a few years to something fairly pretty.
