 Tasted by RPerro on 9/12/2009 & rated 87 points: Oregon Wine Country Tasting (Willamette Valley, OR): Rather thin and acidic. A touch of that signature leather, and light strawberry and cherry flavors. Missing something... (173 views)

 Tasted by Bear on 5/19/2009: Winegrower's notes - A blend of Dijon Clone 777, Coury Clone, and Dijon Clone 115, this beautiful cuveé is deep, dark and luscious. The wine greets you with a complex bouquet full of earth, smoke and pipe tobacco. A first taste confers a foundation of blackberry and blueberry fruits with tones of leather and high notes of rosemary. The finish is smoky with hints of malted chocolate. This wine will age beautifully for another six - eight years. We recommend bottle aging this wine for at least one year before drinking and then decanting before serving (279 views)
 Tasted by Kdawg on 1/26/2009 & rated 88 points: Glunz Wines Winter Portfolio tasting (union league club, chicago IL): nose: soft and earth driven nose with brown spices, coffee beans, and bits of dark plums

taste: elegant feel with soft tones of earth, brown spices, and bits of dark plums and cherries. Good acidity to compliment this

overall: a very nice wine that has a soft and elegant side. A perfect food pinot (300 views)

About red wine
Varietal character (Appellation America) | Varietal article (Wikipedia)
Pinot Noir is the Noble red grape of Burgundy, capable of ripening in a cooler climate, which Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot will not reliably do. It is unpredictable and difficult both to grow and to vinify, but results in some of the finest reds in the world. It is believed to have been selected from wild vines two thousand years ago. It is also used in the production of champagne. In fact, more Pinot Noir goes into Champagne than is used in all of the Cote d'Or! It is also grown in Alsace, Germany, the U.S., Canada, Australia, New Zealand, Croatia, Serbia, Italy, and so forth, with varying degrees of success.
