This afternoon I am at my store of choice picking up some 2010 Bordeaux. They have a bar attached that you can have glasses of beer and wine. I am have this wonderful Willamette Valley Pinot. On the nose I am getting good fruit and a good funk, what a combination. Cherries a plenty, raspberries, strawberries, caramel, smoke and a nice forest floor. On the palate I can taste the cherries, cranberries, a touch of orange zest, a nice complimentary oak, nice acidity and medium plus tannin. A very easy smooth, creamy and drinkable pinot. The Willamette never ceases to amaze me on how consistent their pinots and how Burgundian they are. The store price is $49.99.

Love the purity of this wine as well as its linearity. Wait until 2016 for this baby. She's wound up with fits of black fruit & chiseled tannin energy & needs to settle down a bit!
