About the Wine: I have written fairly extensively about Oregon Pinot Noir before, so there is not much to add. This one was recommended to me to go with baked salmon.
About THIS Wine: It is ruby red in the glass with a pink rim. The nose is earthy and herbaceous, reminiscent of Red Burgundy more than anything I have had from Oregon. The sour cherry often associated with West Coast Pinot Noir is present on the palate in a big way but is tempered with earthy notes and firm tannins in the finish.
Drinking This Wine: It is not bad by itself but better with food. Pork or turkey are good pairings. The wine has a spiciness too it so it is best to have with something sweet or at least not spicy. The aforementioned salmon pairing was really nice.
Overall Impression: This is a little more than I normally like to spend it is a very good wine. This one is fair for the price.
