Popped and poured. Aromas of tart red cherry, soap, charcoal, and green vine cuttings predominate. Medium-to-light weight in the mouth. Red cherry and potpourri out front but marred by a mildly unpleasant bitter, slightly astringent finish which muted any complexity that might be developing. Air time only heightened this effect. I have one more bottle so will likely wait another year or two to see if this uncoils at all.

Ruby hue. Nose of violets, fresh cut berry, stony earth. Layers of crunchy red raspberry and cranberry fruit cut with iodine and anise. Bright acidity and firm tannin subsumed by copious fruit. Longer finish of crisp red berry and bits of iron. Quintessential Oregon Pinot sampled in its primary phase. Consumed in Mt Desert, Maine.

Fantastic bottle. Wild strawberries and cherry notes just burst from the glass. Very refreshing acidity and brightness on the palate without being tart or austere. Just lovely.
