Willamette Valley Pinot Noir

Ok so I love 2010, I have never had any Matzinger Davies before but I loved the 2010 vintage in general. MD definitely hold the bar, there is that quintessential 2010 funk, but it's a clean wine maybe too clean (filtered and fined). But I find the brightness refreshing and really nice. Will look for more recent wines.

Really impressed with this wine. For the vintage (2010) it was remarkably dark and rich but it has so much more than just raw power. The attack note on the nose is that unmistakable Oregon Pinot "funk" that's sort of a blend of lily flower and inner tube rubber. Actually, there's so many different sorts of rich flower notes, it's a bit like that smell of walking in to a florist's shop. Mouthfeel is softly gripping and the acid on the back end really gets the mouth watering.
Later, some licorice notes come out and maybe even a little cola.
All in all very complex, interesting and thought provoking. Still plenty of life left in that bottle. Recommended.
