Light reddish-orange hue, star bright. Medium body. Nose has a green, stemmy note, cedar wood, a bit of ester-y/inflatable plastic note. Scrubland spice bush. Palate is surprisingly refined, barely any acidity, no detectable oak, just a trace of late, slow tannin and malolactic to keep the body. Finish is short and leaves almost a mint note on the tongue, refreshing.
As close to Burgundy as I've had from the US. I may have to try a few more of these Oregon Pinots. Label indicated clones Dijon 667, 777; Pommard; Wadenswil; 113; 114.

Really very good. Rich ripe red fruit, minerality balanced with a creamy, smooth, long finish. Very enjoyable for the price. Would buy again.

PnP. Much better on day two; i.e., needs a couple years or more. Very pretty in a mid- to light-weight style. 13.5%

Muted juiciness, balanced by nice acidity.
