Big fruity nose of strawberries, cherries, red fruits and just a little heat. On the palate the fruit is a little darker in tone, ripe and soft with licorice notes initially that turned to menthol and then to eucyliptus. There is a fair amount of acidity to balance out the ripe fruit.

Nose shows distinct cherry and cranberry notes. Nicely weighted in the mouth, more of the fruit with a little minerality and very mild tannins -- enough to be present, but not overpowering -- that give a perfectly balanced wine. Finish is nice and long.
Drink 2010-2016.

I expected more from a 2006 Willamette Valley Pinot Noir at this price ($35.00) Decanted bottle, then each glass went through the Vinturi. Nice, but no wow.
