A bit heavy on the alcohol, otherwise red fruit with an overlay of cola and spice. I always look for earthiness in a pinot and found none here, but it's a nice enough wine, drinking well. Served with grilled pork chops.

Medium garnet in color. Forward, attractive & aromatic nose of ripe red fruit aromas of red cherries, blueberries & strawberries with overtones of floral notes & spices, earthy/dusty, minerals & a touch of oak/vanilla in the background. Medium bodied with a good concentration of balanced & smooth textured, ripe fruit flavors of sweet red cherries, blueberries & strawberries with spices, earthiness, minerals & a hint of oak/vanilla. Lingering finish. Drinks quite well at present & even at 6 years of age, it should develop slightly further with additional aging.

Nice blend of fruit from six sub-AVAs in the Willamette Valley. Cherry cola, spice box, with a lift of raspberry juice on the finish. Nicely balanced and versatile with food. Medium-bodied.

PNP at BarZotto. Big and a bit oaky. Not what I seek in Oregon pinot. 14.4%
