2002 Oregon Pinot Retro + Port/Madeira (JV's): An awesome start to the night. This is a deep golden color. The nose is sweet with some petrol A bit of golden raisins too. Nice texture. Velvety. On the palate, minerals and some golden raisins. Slight heat on the finish. This got better with air as it unwound and showed complexity. Blind some of the guesses included an Alsace VT, Sauternes, and Germany. Most did not think this was Oregon. Vied for WOTN.

Petrol and honey filled nose, with nice peach and nectarine laden palate.
