This is a very interesting Pinot Noir from oregon. Fruity on the nose and very earthy on the palate.

Feels young, and needs a few years in the bottle to mature properly.

The nose is very complex for such a young Pinot. Really interesting nose that was fun to smell. Reminds me of a Burgundy Pinot Noir.

A good quality wine that is just not ready yet. Would be nice to revisit it in 3 years.

Elegant, and a good food wine.
