No contemporaneous notes. Excellent, nice balance of red fruits and acidity, soft tannin. (91-92). I preferred this to the 2008 Beaux Freres Willamette served alongside, which presented a darker fruit, lower acid and overripe component.

Dark ruby red, spice-box notes accompanied by hints of cinnamon, medium bodied, and a long finish tinged with balsam and pleasant acidity. Drinking very nicely!

Pretty tight when opened. A bit of funk that blew off with a hour of air. After air some nice crunchy red berry fruits emerge. Firm acidity provides some excellent balance.

A lovely Oregon Pinot Noir! Lots of cherry fruit with Asian spices, mellow tannins and a medium finish.
