Quite lovely, some tart strawberry and roses, gentle earthiness, mild tannic structure and a juicy finish. Perfect with a spicy coconut curry seafood stew.

Pours a brickish-ruby in the glass. Definitely reminiscent of other 2007 pinot's. Aromas of cherry kirsch, pepper, floral perfume, and dusty black soil waft out of the glass. The fruit dominates but not in a bad way, it's just the most forceful aroma. On the palate this wine is deliciously clean and easy to drink. Plenty of acidity reins in the fruit flavors, allowing earth and pepper to showcase nicely. The finish is medium length but does fall apart a little bit. An excellent 2007 pinot noir.

Solid Pinot from an excellent Pinot producer. Not quite as full bodied as some of their others but still a very good bottle. Not quite fully refined but still a fair amount of smoothness. Opened for :30 before drinking, no decant.

Drinking wonderfully - one of the best Oregon pinots I've had in a while. Wish I would have picked up more '07's!

A bigger Pinot...mots of fruit. Was not as happy as with the last bottle. A bit more harsh, even on the 2nd day.
