Thursday, January 17, 2013 - 2 Days in the Valley- Day 2 (Willamette Valley, OR): Nose: Beautiful and perfumed nose with tones of dark red cherries, chestnuts, herbs, dark berries, and floral tones. There is very nice depth to this with a good bit of class as well.
Taste: Medium bodied with medium/high acidity and very nice supporting tannins. This is very well balanced with pretty tones of dark red cherries, herbs, floral tones, chestnuts, and a touch of earth.
Overall: This is a real gorgeous pinot, and it's one that can improve. There is a lot to like right now and it will be interesting to see where this goes.
