Kind of meh, especially since I had had 2 excellent New World Pinot's in the past week. Some red fruit, some earth, but all muted. Agree with those who posted recently, lacks the depth to improve.

Wine opened slowly and will, perhaps, be better on the second day. This is a delicious Oregon PN with a few years left on its life, but probably past its prime. I would drink up.

I've got a love-hate relationship with Oregon Pinot Noir, and now that I've figured out what I love oh, I'm going to start buying these when I see them! Very grippy, full throttle, fruit in your face Pinot Noir. But it does not go to a jammy or generic or metallic, almost watered down side. This, my friends, is Pinot Noir. Roasted Bing cherry, a little bit spicy, a little bit dirty. Very elegant and round all the way through out with a nice pucker on the finish. Kept coming back to this one more so than the Aubert Ritchie 10. Still a ton of life left. Really nice Pinot.

Nice red fruited nose. Steeped in oak on the palate. Not a favorite. Did not attempt to take more than a few sips.
