2011's from the Willamette Valley are tasting absolutely amazing, a combination of fruit and earth that exceeds all expectations.

2011 is rocking right now, beautiful balance of fruit and earth, great acidity to keep you coming back for more.

No nose even after an hour or two. Tasted like lightly flavored cherry water. Disappointing. 😕

More subtle. Dried cherry and torched grass. Fig and dried cherry. Lean and spicy that still finishes long.

Drove down from Washington State. Asking for wines which are Burgundian in style from every wine store along the road. This is from a Portland Store called Liner & Elsen. To my surprise they also had Enderle & Moll the best Pinot winery in Germany. Trying this with Rob in Pleasant Hill, CA a friend who has a really good palate. So the nose - Raspberry. Acidic. Balanced clean taste. Opening up nicely. We do not get earth - sorry - co-tasters. Young. Soft tannins. This is all Rob talking. Worth the investment.
