Nice candied cherry fruit, but with sufficient structure to steer clear of a sappy or overripe finish. Not tart, maybe a smoky edge. I'm impressed this has held up so well at 8 years.

A very full bodied Willamette Pinot Noir. Starts with raspberry, some strawberry, and cola; ripe raspberry, cola, and pepper flavors reinforced by the long finish. The wine's fullness might be a detractor to some but not for me. Fairly priced on Mille Fleurs' wine list.

Well past its prime now, unfortunately. Still holding onto some of the candied cherries, but showing more age with dried fruit and leather elements.

Fuller-bodied than I expected for an Oregon, but good mouthfeel and nice flavor profile.

And another very nice bottle when visiting Mille Fleurs.
Full bodied, balanced fruit, delicious.
