Smokey notes and deeply textured. A bit extracted, and finished slightly bitter. Dense red raspberries and ripe plum. Quite earthy.

Delicate beginning with cherry, plum, raisin, and currant blossoming into rich, never overpowering fruit filling. Whoever Christopher is, I want to give him a hug.

Excellent example of Chehalem, higher elevation darker fruit without loosing that delicate quality of OR Pinot Noir. Spices, dark fruit, great acid throughout.
