This wonderfully complex and elegant wine showcases the best Oregon has to offer for Pinot Noir in 2004: dark and lush blackberry fruits, bright Indian spices and chocolate, all supported by a firm but approachable acid and tannin backbone. (Varietal: 100% Pinot Noir )(ALC:13.7 %)

This was a gem from Lange Winery. It exudes balackberry fruit, some indian spices and hints of chocolate. Firm but approachable in structure. Rich, elegant as well as complex. Made with fruit from the lange estate, Yamhill and Freedom Hill vineyards.

While young and tight, this wine shows impressive potential. A deep plum color in the glass with a light ruby rim at the edge with scents of earth, black fruits, and a light hint of oak on the nose; half of the pleasure of this wine is simply smelling it. In the mouth it is round, full, and long as the black fruits flesh out and give way to a dry finish that has a lingering tartness of dark chocolate. It should be at it's best from late 2009-2014.
