Decanted and allowed to open up and breath. This made all the difference. The characteristics of the wine came into balance and any smokiness was no longer detectable. I didn't do that with the first bottle that I opened and was noticeably different. Decant! And give it some time. You will be rewarded

Pleasant. Interesting sidenote: my wife did not know what I had poured when i brought her a glass and she immediately said she smelled smokiness! I did not get it on my first sniff and drink, but got a very very subtle smoke on the nose. Not offputting, but definitely there when looking for it. Overall a decent Oregon Pinot, and I am glad to support (in a very small way) the cause.

Nice Oregon Pinot. Lots of light red fruit on the nose - strawberry, raspberry and cherry. Balanced but on the crisp side, Medium length. First impression on taste is cherry and raspberry. We enjoyed this with wild salmon. I am looking forward to our remaining 2 bottles. I didn’t detect any smoke on the wine.

Good value wine. No off flavors, just a bit of smokiness on the finish but nothing off putting.

Nice, fruitier Oregon Pinot. Very drinkable now. None to very slight smokiness at the end that does not detract from the overall palate.
