Popped and poured. A wonderful example of the quality Pinot Noir being made in the southern half of the Willamette Valley. Big and rich aromas flow from the glass right from the start. Lots of fruit on the palette along with a smooth velvety texture. Tannins are very soft now. And it's got a complex finish that lingers for 10 seconds or more.

Decanted 2 hours, served with marinated pork chops. Nose: Subdued - red fruit - raspberry. Palate - More red fruit, little must or earthiness I typically get with Willamette pinot. Short finish - rather simple. However came alive with the last glass consumed 5-6 hours after opening. Fruit showed well and finish lengthened significantly. Nice wine.

Spice, oak and vanilla. A bit watered down. Short to medium finish.
