Memorial Day Weekend near Salem Oregon (Willamette Valley Oregon): The nose is rich and fun showing zippy cherry scents, roast beef, and some hibiscus. It has some nice texture, and good crisp acidity. Blackberry flavors and a tart note show on the mid palate. Everything is straightforward, and the wine is enjoyable.

Wanted to sample an 08 Oregon PN based on the stirring early reports, but this bottling didn't do much for me and maybe is not representative of anything. Seemed diluted and left me searching for flavors (hints of cranberry, boysenberry) and aromas (not much going on with the nose).

- Crimsom color with slow forming legs - Slighty tart cherries, mushrooms, thin and not much finish but ok.

Quality. Earthy and slightly tart. A great and unusual taste available immediately after opening.
