as noted below easy to pour this and upon first smell/taste think it's gone... this wine opened up after about an hour and while subtle, was singing, balanced, texturally beautiful, and mature. drink these now.

Good/Very Good. An elegant pinot. Cherries, cranberries, mild herbs, some funk. Absolutely delicious. It is a testament to the wine that it still drinks really well at 10 years old. Another review said it is reminiscent of a Cote due Beaune. I agree.

(Eyrie Vineyards Pinot Noir Estate, Willamette Valley) Pale ruby color, light in concentration, with a bright pink rim. This wine hits all the pretty, high-toned floral notes one normally associates with Pinot Noir grown in the Rheingau or lower Austria. Dried and crushed red-flower petals, sandalwood, and earth are layered on top of lovely red-cherry and wild-raspberry aromas. The wine is light-bodied and bright on the palate, with more intense, sweet red cherry, wild raspberry, and pomegranate accompanying some brown spice and earth. This Pinot Noir is entirely unaffected by new-wood aromas; its élevage program includes barrels from the winery’s beginnings, back in the mid-1960s. Hot Picks

Drinking elegantly with earthiness, velvety feel and cherry preserves. Blind, I would assume a 1er cru Cote de Beaune. Wish I had more than 1 left.
