Perfumey dark fruit on the nose. Black cherry, black licorice, fennel-anise on the palate. Soft, balanced, in a real nice place. Fantastic Oregon grape juice.

First thing to notice is crystallization on the cork and plenty of sediment in the aerator's strainer screen. I was told at the wine store (Hinton's) that this was expected. I'm on my 6th bottle and all are identical in that way. Medium to big for a Pinot, without the mineral / lead pencil of some others. Smooth and enjoyable.

Fabulous wine. A great Pinot Noir from Oregon. Paired it with Chicken Dijon over Texmati rice. Phenomenal.

Bretty nose but a definite fruit bomb on the palate with a strange hollow finish.

Dark black cherry color. Funky on the nose and onthe palate. I like the earthy character of this wine.
