Interesting Oregon Pinot Noir. Light, bright red color and a very clean appearance. Tried it at room temperature and then chilled it. Stood up well to the chill. Nose has a classic bent to it with some earth. Fruits on nose include strawberry, cherry, and maybe some melon or honeydew. Palate of strawberry jam. Clearly made with neutral oak. High acidity in its youth. Note that earlier vintages seem to have lower alcohol (11% or less). The 2015 is 12.68% (gotta love the precision).
