Pulling this one from the cellar from my visit to Willamette Valley 2 years ago. This particular vintage has eclipsed its optimum tasting window but still drinking quite well with attractive red berries, cola and violet notes along with a hint of chocolate on the long ten second finish. Lower acidity, but still assertive enough to accompany a grilled salmon and veg. Drink now as it won’t improve.
