Popped and poured. Oregon pinot noir glass. Nose of pine, white pepper, sour cherries, and forest floor. Soft tannins and balanced acidity easy into a flavor palette of cranberry/raspberry, baking spice, and earth. A touch of alcoholic heat shows through too, but it's just a touch. The finish has lots of sweet raspberry and pepper. Excellent wine. Probably at peak.

Perfume and cherry on the nose, along with some floral notes and toasted vanilla. Cherry and floral notes on the palate, with toasted oak on the finish.

Slightly earthy on the nose, it shows mushrooms as well as hints of root vegetables with a minimal touch of cherries. The palate is well balanced and shows cherries as well as red berries with a slight hint of earthiness.

Fruit is gone, wine is browning in color. Very over the hill (as I expected).

Light and delicious. Tart cherry and juicy strawberry, with great balance.
