Amazed how well this 2009 has held up even drinking in 2022. Enjoyed every sip. Cork still solid unlike some of my other bottles from other wineries from 08/09 I’ve been working through. Needs some air but still so balanced and a classic WV Pinot.

Although the wine surpassed the prime drinking window, it nevertheless delivered as a classic Pinot from the Willamette Valley. Decanted for 30 minutes (no problem with the cork), the wine was bursting with strawberry & rasberry flavors and had a smooth, silky finish. If properly cellared, the 2009 Pinot may have another 3-4 years left.

APPEARANCE: Typical pinot color AROMA: Heavy aroma of spinach. Interesting, but a little awkward TASTE: Leather and spice with heavy doses of cranberries and sour cherries

Served with sautéed duck breast. Relatively full mouthfeel for an Oregon Pinot Noir. Almost a floral nose with strawberries in the initial taste and mid-range, and a relatively short finish. this is a good Oregon Pinot, but not an exceptional one.
