Dark fruits, earthy, almost muddy. Fairly acidic as well, pretty out of balance but the flavors it does carry are extremely pleasant, they just don't work that well together. A friend picked this up very cheap and in that regard, this was very good. It is definitely ready to drink now.

WOW. This pinot packs a juicy and flavorful punch. Aromas of dark fruit, minerals, and spice abound. Very flavorful and spicy finish. I liked it, my wife hated it.

This stood out in a small flight of 2003 Oregon pinots priced under $20. Distinguished by its verve and a lively mid-palate, and not showing any of the overripe, hot qualities that I've found in a lot of the 2003s. Very bright red fruit pinot aromas and flavors, with a touch of spice and mineral. Offering a lot more finesse than its peers, very easy to drink and offering a dash of complexity at this price. This is a good "teaser" for the fall 2005 release of Cameron's Clos Electrique and Abbey Ridge bottlings.
