Belle Pente Vineyard Pinot Noir

Most underrated producer in the Willamette.

Honeymoon date night wine at Le Pigeon!!

Always good to revisit old loves. Both being restaurant and wine.

This is a nice example of an Oregon Pinot Noir. Beautiful ruby color with a nose of raspberry, cherry, green herbal notes and a dusty soil component. On the palate there is cola, cranberry, and bing cherry. Medium acidity and medium low tannins.

Evolved. Tired?

Showing well, 2010 from 375. Smoky, has a youthful red berry characteristic. I heart Brian.

Black cherries, blueberries, earth, wet concrete. @ Amuse in Ashland, OR.

Very yum. Austrians like it too.

Now this blessed soul knows how to convert the essence of terroir to the explanation point of the evening. No rehab for us!
