Similar to my previous notes. The fruit has almost completely aged, with a hint of cherry left. Bright acidity is about the only thing left at this point, not objectionable, but past EOL.

This is drinking great from magnum. Beautiful rich red fruit nose, still young but right in the zone. Rich and succulent on the palate. This ArborBrook solidifies my faith in this producer.

Dark cherry and plum blend with the acid to make a pleasant though unremarkable wine. 2010 was a light vintage, though many of the 10 pinots in Oregon are now just coming into their own. This one...not so much. There is nothing drastically wrong with this wine, it is a bit light, but again it was a cool vintage. There is a nice earth and a bit of spice in this bottle. If I said it was better than I had expected would that sound like prejudgment?? Yeah, probably, such is life.

End of life. Lots of acid with minimal aged fruit.
