Beautiful as secondary flavors are taking over. Dry autumn leaves carried by chestnuts and currants waifs from the glass. Bright and pretty on the palate, ripe cranberries give way to medium-bodied wine of earth, wild mushrooms, and forest floor. Paired perfectly with bouef d'Bourgogne.

Garnet color in the glass, clear looking throughout. Nose of berries, raspberries and light notes of cherries. Flavors of berries, raspberries and cranberries. Medium to tart acidity, medium tannin, medium body. Drink or hold. I'm leaning toward drinking now.

(J.K. Carriere Pinot Noir Willamette Valley, Oregon) Jim Prosser began crafting Pinot Noir in a century-old barn surrounded by hazelnut orchards in 2001. Upstairs in the rustic hayloft, an ethereal sculpture of a Nordic spirit boat is suspended from the rafters. Like the boat, this flagship blend is elegance defined. With a nose of plum and black cherry and a lush flavor medley of raspberry and strawberry, it pairs perfectly with fresh-caught steelhead salmon. Wild-yeast fermentation, no fining or filtration—this is authentic Oregon. Sommelier's Choice: Top Releases of 2009

Muted red fruit with plenty of earth and funk... Burgundian.

Not very impressed. It's still fairly austere. Specially in the palate. I'd expect a bit more suppleness, roundness.
