This is a stunning Oregon pinot from a family-owned winery and a great vintage year. My compliments to the winemaker.
Glass: surprising amount of color for an Oregon pinot noir 14 years of age. Deep purple at its core with reddish fringes.
Nose: dried cherry and cranberry.
Taste: cherry and plum with a pleasing minerality that lends a weightier mouthfeel than I expected from an aged pinot. Tannins are fully integrated and acidity is bright.
There’s still time in the drinking window!
93 points.
