Classically delicious cherry pie Pinot.
Cherry trees, blackberry bramble, layers of pie crust.
Very subtle tannins, slight acidity

The 2017 basic quality WV bottling is exceptional. More structured, mature and forceful than the very pretty 2016 blend. Every last drop of wild berry-currant fruit is loaded with savory spice and cedar. Sexy, stylish and effortless.

Black cherry, raspberry, currant, cranberry, loamy earth and oak. Good structure and quite tannic.

Good value.

Very floral nose, distinct rose petal aroma- reminiscent of Nebbiolo with some Burgundian characteristics. Delicate but not lacking in fruit extraction. Raspberry, mushroom and potting soil. Very earthy, firm tannins, virtually no oak. Lovely entry-level wine from a top-tier Oregon producer. This is a fabulous “house wine”.

Broadley Vineyard's 2010 Reserve Pinot Noir sports classic Oregon funk. The nose is fairly brimming over with aromas of decaying leaves, freshly turned soil, seedy red berries, dried mint, smoke and exotic spice. Tart cranberries and pie cherries mingle with cumin and coriander on the back palate. Perhaps the only dectractor in an otherwise complex Pinot is a slightly bitter, slightly green finish.

Crowd pleasing Pinot. A "new world Pinot" as I would have used the term 10 years ago - before that came to mean Syrah. Blackberry, black cherry, but not to overwhelm. Retains a nice bit of acidity.

Mellow and soft red fruits followed by spice and lift. I am getting a higher alcohol content with all the classic notes of fine Oregon Pinot Noir. This wine is fantastic!
