A night of Oregon Pinots, darkish, classical nose, spices, sandalwood, mushrooms, very old world, black cherries, elegant, good mid palate & finish, meaty, from Pommard clones, lovely Pinot! One of my favourites with the 2012 Cathedral Ridge Pinot 92

Fruit forward but some earthiness in the background. Main complaint here is that the acids are not integrated. This is certainly better than some of the New World stuff, but not what I am looking for in a Pinot Noir.

Tile red colors, slightly dilute at the edges. Full on Pinot nose with big berry flavours. Plums with a dash of strawberry. Medium weighted palate full of ripe damsons, cherries and strawbweries. Hint of smokiness. Perfectly balanced with good acid backbone. Medium finish. Drink now till end 2018. Overall an unpretentious good value wine I would buy again.

Red cherry and prune color, medium legs. Nose is smoke, tobacco, tart cherry. Palate is tart cherry, earth, smooth and a hint of cinnamon. Lingers nicely, pairs well with food and for just sipping.Had with Mexican food.Open to air for an hour or more, prior to drinking. Really nice Oregon Pinot. Repeat buy, and case worthy.

This is getting better. Gave it an hour open before drinking this time. A rerate may be in order as we drink through the case.
