  a sore throat and anosmia due to a cold, and a numb tongue due to dental work did not stop me from having wine with dinner; giving a rating is another thing entirely. It seemed young.

  Sexy, creamy, deep. Sous bous, plenty of sexy pinot feel, good spice. Open for business, yet plenty of years left here.

  First whiff brings a bright red freshness of watermelon flesh, crushed raspberries, and pie cherry. There's also a little framework of sandalwood and dry forest understory. As it breathes in the glass, it gets a little more floral and really reminds me a lot of borage flowers.
  
  It's actually still pretty young and stout here at 5 years old. The tannins, although definitely well integrated and part of a seamless whole, are definitely still young and a little bit green. Like most Eyrie, This wine has the build to be practically immortal in the cellar.
  
  Next comes the incredibly long finish that tantalizes the palate with layers of red fruit, gentle baking spice, a little bit of cola, and even a little bit of dried orange peel.
  
  Drink now through 2040. Yes I'm serious.

  This was our favorite of the several Oregon Pinot Noirs we tasted on our trip to Portland, and we bought a bottle at the vineyard tasting, where it stood out among three Pinots as the one that suited our taste the most. It had no Pinot funk, but rather, had outstanding fruit: ripe red cherry with hints of caramel (the quintessential Oregon "cherry cola" combo), with retronasal earthiness. Length and balance were great, too.

  First sample of this and it is lovely; showing the warmth of the 18 vintage this is probably the biggest version of sisters I have tasted, but it is still balanced very nicely; good stuff and excellent value.
