Previously tasted and scored 87, without comment. Don't know if there was bottle variation or not, but this tasted better today. For 2007 this has been the best OR WV Pinot I've had. Light to medium garnet in color. Aromas of dried dark fruit, herbs and mint, and white pepper. Flavors of dried cherries, walnut, dark chocolate and mint. Very nice easy drinking, not to imply simple, wine. Mouth feel is good balance of medium with very balanced texture.

Dark plum color. Cherry cola nose. Eucalyptus as well. Nice cherries, earthy, smoky taste. Also get blueberry pie. Still seems young. A little residual heat. But a great Oregon PN with pork chops off the grill and pasta.

Tasted this from the barrel and it is very similar; young, heavy pinot noir; dark red colors with a dark berry nose; cola, coffee flavor profile; pretty intense, but there is still enough fruit there to make this a very solid effort, looking forward to seeing how this wine evolves in a couple of years.
