Excellent balance, great fruit and tannin. The hit of Eileen 2006 so far. I am amazed at how well the 2006 vintage ages in the hand of great wine makers. This one is more evidence.

This is what OR pinot should be. Rich, spicy, funky...nose had mixture of strawberries and all manner of barnyard aspects. Loads of plum in this one on the palate. In the spirit of the best pinots, changed visibly over time becoming more minerally and herbal. A great wine from one of my favorite OR wineries. And absolutely perfect with duck breasts stuffed with chanterelle mushrooms.

25 Oregon Pinots: 5 x 5 Hand or Land? (My House, Waterbury, Vermont): Quite spicy with sweeter fruit aromas, some nice oak notes. Very deep and harmonious. Darker cherry and plum flavors. Rich and dark. My guess: SD
