From Schneider's in DC. $30.

Sweet nose with hints of leather and dark cherry; slightly earthy. Surprisingly sweet fruity start that nicely transitions to a tangy but smooth finish. Firmly in the medium body camp. This is a great Oregon Pinot.

Consumed with a spicy sausage and mushroom marinara sauce over pasta.

A glass the second day lost its sweet front and got a bit more acidic and aggressive, more like a med-full bodied red. Not as enjoyable but still smooth and quite good.
