dusty, mineral nose. thin and light in color. sour cherry, blackberry, currant. good amount of acid balances the forward fruit. drinking well now, probably improves with a few years of cellaring. I'm looking for a value priced 08 Oregon pinot this could be it. NOE notes, " smells fruity and strong. fruity taste. black cherry"

I would agree with Yak's comments. Went extremely well with cedar plank salmon ... Overall a very nice Pinot at this price point.
