Winery tasting, served from magnum opened the day before and made from a single vineyard section devoted to the Wadenswil clone. This wine is, for me, quintessential Oregon pinot. Taupe-y color, elegant with ripe raspberry and plum fruit supported by generous minerality and a potpourri-ish dash of oak spice and rose petals. Long finish and aftertaste. Purchased!

Retail $75. Another remnant from the Second Annual Blind Tasting of American Pinot Noir, which I loved eighteen months ago, and I feel just about the same way now. A dark color in the glass with oodles of dark fruit, primarily black cherry, with hints of earth and oak. The palate is delightfully fruity with ample tartness and silky tannins. Yet another wine that is doing fantastically well close to two years out from that original tasting.
Bright red fruits and white pepper on the nose with a smooth silky palate of bing cherry and cayenne pepper and long finish of current and traces of plum. A very stylish wine for special occasions.
