This Pinot actually has some aging potential! Bright deep ruby color with cherry and earth on the nose; sweet fruit, but with some tannins and earth to give it structure; very drinkable, not too ripe, and an excellent value

Ok...first off let me say this is the FIRST oregon Pinot Noir in the $20 range that I've wanted to buy. For those of you who are serious Pinot Lovers...and love Oregon Pinot this is worth seeking out (and it's widely distributed!) There was beautiful scents of earth, manure, truffles, bacon fat, and cinnamon. In the mouth it fleshed out into a beautiful swath of sour cherry, strawberry, and nutmeg. This is a steal at the "cost" for those of us in the industry. They did warn me that starting with the 2007 vintage the price will rise. So stock up on the 2006's while you can.

Always reliable basic Pinot with brigh cherry flavors with baking spice adding complexity; very clean feel and crisp acidity

Not much in the nose, light red color. Drinkable, but nothing special.
