  Oregon Pinot: The "Select" Pinot Noir represents an estate wine - a barrel selection from all the estate blocks that represent the property while staying true to the easy-going nature of the blend. This small farm (40 acres total with 30 under vine) was planted in 1990 and is both organic and bio-dynamic certified.
  Nose: On opening - ripe, sweet cherry. With time it showed sweet raspberry notes in addition to the cherry, and hints of cinnamon and cola.
  Palate: On opening - ripe sweet fruit, candied cherries, and cola. With time it shows sweet raspberry, red plum and an earthy hint toward the back palate reminiscent of Kriek. Finish is moderate, with refreshing acidity and a hint of spice.
  Overall: This was a delicious, fruit forward wine that begs to be opened today... now even. The wine would go nicely with a meal, the bright acidity on the finish keeping it fresh, but could absolutely be enjoyed on its own as well. While it showed potential to age, who could keep their hands off this gem now?

  big, rich pinot noir. nose is fresh, floral nose. medium acid, loads of cherry, cranberry on the front. subtle earth notes and cola on the mid palette and finish. Tannins are fine and not overbearing. a nice pinot...may need a few years to integrate better.
