Community Tasting Note

Swaggering Beaunie Likes this wine:

Friday, August 14, 2015 - This wine was reductive and even just a bit bretty upon opening, but these aromas disappeared quickly with air, to reveal faint scents of black cherry and raspberry. The palate was more interesting than the nose; it exhibited delicate (not to say subdued) mixed black and red fruits, firm tannins, and some baritone notes from toasted oak. The finish was long and distinctly floral, and the floral flavors intensified as we worked our way through the bottle. All in all, it was a very nice bottle, one of the better Oregon Pinots I've tasted, and a good effort for the difficult 2011 vintage. It was decidedly better than the previous Ayres Pinot we tried.
