Community Tasting Note

  January 19, 2011 - Deep garnet with a clear rim. Buckle up from the first sniff. Black truffle, red fruit and forest floor. The forest floor you simply inhale from an early morning hike in the Pacific Northwest. Damp and sweet. If you have hiked to Heliotrope Ridge at Mount Baker, you know. Pomegranates, braised oyster mushrooms in a savory sauce and rainier cherries attack the palate. Rich and complex, while medium bodied. This rests on your tongue and demands your undivided attention. Bright, racy acid and sweet tannins bring balance to this challenging, but immensely pleasurable wine. The finish is long and beautiful.
  
  So many bottles of Pinot Noir get the Burgundian tag. This is Oregon in it's purest form. All I thought of while I drank this is if someone asked me what Oregon Pinot Noir tastes like, I'd just offer this bottle.
