Reserve Willamette Valley Pinot Noir

Thanks for the tip Doug, thanks for the delivery Delectable. This has all the funk of Cameron, light spunky cherry and match heads. A bargain.

Hasn't been so long since I opened this, but I'm trying to keep my hands off the Clos Electrique and Abbey Ridge. Wanted to wait until day 2, but failed. Pop, pour, showed a little funk, so I splash decanted this and let it sit. Notes from 2 hrs open. With some air, the funk becomes a lovely earthy mushroom savory note, with loads of sweet strawberry and cranberry carrying it. Fantastic acidity and spice on the palate, with a touch of black tea and very soft tannin. Another special bottle.

2009 vintage. Aged very well. Well bodied, clean, fast end

This is a step up from the 2014. Darker color, strawberry, black cherry, pomegranate-musky fragrance; nice weight and length. Seemingly low tannin (perhaps moderate acidity) makes this approachable now, however, this definitely a hold. Well done.

This is Beaujolais-like with maceration carbonic aromas; slightly stemmy; and decent acidity.

Amazing winemaking. The most Burgundian Oregon Pinot I've had. Tremendous balance. Very impressed...

A little funky on the nose, light, earthy
