Dulcie demanded something red to go with her wild mushrooms (eaten with chicken) and I complied by providing one of the lingering "cheap" Willamettes; it had been hanging around for a while as evidenced by the last TN being more than two years old. I was not overly optimistic; yet the results were not bad, though I pity the poor sod who paid $28 lo these many years. Color is dark clear black cherry red, fairly modest floral PN nose; cherry fruit is there, nothing particularly complex; there is a slightly mean green note as the taste progresses as one other had noted.

Nice fruit forward nose with rich earthy background. Unfortunately, mid palate has a sour green note which dampens any excitement for the finish, which is short to medium and shows some terrior.

Better than other reviewers have given it credit for. Pleasant, if a bit thin in the fruit. Few tanins and no oak. A straightforward pinot

Previous tasters were correct: flavors do not blend at all.
