Leland Willamette Valley Pinot Noir

Ridiculously awesome.

Pleasant. Bright fruit. Decent acidity. Crowd pleasing simple Pinot.

Soft, elegant, bright cherries, a little smoke. Was a Fantastic pour.

From a 3 liter on thanksgiving

Ok lost fruit Almost port- oak and raspberry jam nose some mocha on nose. Flavors have some. Chocolate undertones dusty tannin

Beautifully turned out petals...

Very light color. Light strawberry some earth oak mutes other fruit slight pepper corn. Mouth is light front mid palate. Good work not the best.

Still great see other notes

Open Good see previous. Hasn't changed

As the first Oregon Pinot Noir I drink, ever,what threw me off balance was the combination of the wooden chips (the company admittedly uses them), that gave me a mild oaky first impression, followed by ripe red fruit together with pretty sharp acidity and a metallic taste,in an almost Barolo-like way.
I'd like to see what happens to this wine on time...will the random factors end up blending into a complex,balanced wine?
