  Wow. This ten-year-old Willamette Valley Pinot Noir has aged exceptional well. This wine is big and bold. It had lost a bit of the brashness of its youth and is now an elder statesman of Oregon Pinot Noir with a calm strength and authority to compliment an assertive meal: It's full of black cherry and black berry, chocolate and vanilla, a hint of earthiness and a bit of cola and spice. It's a broad-shoulder wine capable of heavy lifting served with a roast or steak.
  
  This is the reward of cellaring.

  A nose of cherry and some spice, dark amber in color. A medium bodied Pinot, with black cherry, plum, some vanilla and spice on finish, easy drinker, nothing complex. www.winelx.com

  Pop and pour at restaurant. Surprisingly good for price. Strawberry up front. Slightly harsh finish. May improve with more air.
