Nose of bright mid red fruit, floral bouquet and soft warm spice. Darker rich lush blackberries, dark cherries, black plum with mix of blue fruits, black cherry licorice & cola, violets, beautiful in the mouth, it's a sexy wine, rich dark semi-sweet mineral and black earth, light spice and nice baking spice and the polished finish and acidity are near perfect.

Bella Vida Vineyards 2010 Pinot Noir. Deep berry smell. A little mineral on the nose. Jammy on the tongue with a little acidic. Not bad. A little smokiness.

Dark berries and spice. Nice flavor upfront and lingers in the middle

Tasting at the vineyard is always special This Pinot is a bit different than others as it has soft tannins at the front of the mouth soft red fruit flavors

Need time down high acid level, needs to smooth out. You can taste a nice wine underneath.

Smooth and fruity with a hint of ash. Enjoying our first venture into Oregon wines.
