Wine Review: This dark ruby colored Pinot Noir from Oregon is very good. It opens with a mild black raspberry bouquet with a hint of cola. On the palate, this wine is medium bodied, balanced, soft and easy to drink. The flavor profile is a mild mineral influenced black plum with notes of dried black cherry and a touch of oak. The finish is dry and its flavors fade away nicely. While this Pinot is not overly complex, it is tasty and food friendly. This Pinot would pair nicely with roast beef bruschetta. Enjoy - Ken

Winemaker Notes: This 100% Dijon clone, single vineyard release abounds with cinnamon, clove, cherry, and black tea aromas. Flavors are mirrored, with accents of leather, cedar and orange blossom. The finish offers finely interwoven tannin, plus a lingering minerality. This Pinot Noir stands up to bold flavors, such as braised meats and root vegetables.
