About the Wine: Oregon Pinot Noirs are known for their rich, bold style. This contrasts sharply with Pinot Noirs produced elsewhere, which tend toward a much more mild drink.
About THIS Wine: The color is a garnet that fades to a clear rim. Red fruit dominates a nose so heavy that, had I smelled it blind, I would have thought belonged to a Cabernet. The palate bursts with jammy red fruit that gives way to a red berry finish.
Drinking This Wine: This would be good with seasoned salmon or ham. It is a bit intense for a sipping wine.
Overall Impression: This is not a beverage for anyone who enjoys a light, subtle Pinot Noir. For fans of the Oregon style looking for an extreme version of it this wine is good for the price.
