Easy drinking pinot noir. Got it on clearance at Fred Meyer for much less than the sticker price, which is a bit high when you can get much better Pinot out of Oregon at that price point. Red fruit nose, sour cherry, with more red fruit up front. Not a lot of layers to this.

Paired this with Peking Duck. First whiffs out of the bottle has a touch of funk, then black olives in brine. After an hour it smelled like cherry cola and blueberries. It tasted sublime, initially it was a touch closed but with air it had black cherry, strawberry, blueberry at various stages, with a touch of bret funk. Silky tannins, excellent finish. Worked perfectly with the duck.

Very fruit forward, still going strong and drinking well. Blackberries and plum, medium body, very pleasant now. Drink up.
