  Popped and this was very tight so decanted. Writing note about 30 minutes after that. Aromas of green tea, mushroom, earth and cherry, Flavors of cherry, green tea, earth and herb. Ends with a finish of about 15 seconds with dried cherry notes. Better than the last time I had it.

  Robe bourgogne. Vin fruité et agréable à boire. Bel équilibre.

  We drank our first bottle of the Solena pinot about 8 months ago (I gave a longer review then), and we hoped to report a better result with the second bottle. Alas, it just didn't improve from my first tasting. It still comes in at an 88. Solid and drinkable, light fruits, medium finish, but not enough fruit, or tannins, or complexity to be truly interesting.

  Enjoyed 2nd bottle much more than the first. Light, nice Oregon Pinot noir.

  A solid value that delivers charm on the lighter-end of the Oregon Pinot spectrum. Light red in color, light in body, inviting nose of flowers, herbs, and spices. Tastes of sour cherry, strawberry, bell peppers, and forest floor, with a nicely integrated - though somewhat juicy - finish. 13.5% alcohol. This may last another year or two, but this might be a bit fragile - so I would drink now.
