Enjoyed from a magnum which I brought to Golden Steer last night. Lighter red fruited with a little earthy lift. Drinking quite well right now and a real pleasure.

With Penner Ash and Beaux Freres, one of my favorite Willamette Pinots. Medium ruby,significant rim variation. Drinking well now with nice tertiary notes. Five more years tops. Powerful, complex nose of dark cherry, boysenberries, powerful mushroom, tea leaf, forest floor. Medium acidity low tannin with persistent fruit right through the balanced extended fisish. Labeled Old Vine which is significant because Hylandsnis one of the 1970s Oregon wine industry founders and,in my option, underrated.

Retail $45. This was part of my Fourth Annual Tasting of American Pinot Noir and I liked it back then (91 pts.), but I like it even more now. Quite fruity on the nose of this nearly translucent red-ruby wine, with dark cherry, some spice, and, well, a whole lot of verve. All this and more on the palate with wonderful fruit, considerable depth, and, yes, verve. The acidity perfectly balances the fruit and the wine has well-above average length. I need to bump this up a notch.
Sub 20$ (17$) Pinot at Costco....25$ plus at normal retail. A touch of menthol and dark cherries on the nose. Raspberries/cola and forest/earthiness with black pepper and nutmeg on the finish. Very good. Went back the next week and got 3 more. Stock up.
