It is Thursday night the eve before the start of another weekend. I have opened the 2018 Patricia Green Cellar Durant Vineyard Madrone Block Pinot Noir. This is a beautifully balanced pinot noir from the Dundee Hills of the Willamette Valley of Oregon.

The nose brings out notes of cherry, raspberry, floral notes, sassafras, vanilla, cola, clove and baking spices.

Onnthe palate there is cherry, raspberry, cranberry, spice, vanilla, herbs, hibiscus and forest floor.

This wine is a beautiful expression of Pinot Noir that is beautifully well balanced and is medium bodied with medium + acidity and medium fine tannins that lead into a medium to long red fruit finish. Here we are on the eve before the start of another weekend and we need to look within to see how we want to proceed in life? Do we want to try and make something out of our life and do right with our fellow man or proceed with the status quo and not make a mark on this world.i hope we all want to make a difference and try and lift one another up. Let try and support one another and see above the hate and discontent. Please be kind to one another and be healthy and safe so we can all make this a better place. Nostrovia! 🍷🍷🍷🍷

Fantastic. Fruit, acid, not jammy. I explain this site and its neighbors as the Beverly Hills of the Willamette Valley in the Dundee Hills. 500 ft. elevation up Breymen Orchard road next to Domaine Drouhin, below Domaine Serene. Originally planted in 73, this block of 100% Dijon 115 was planted in 2000. Crazy year up the hill bit this wine is smoking good from a rough vintage.

Red berries and spice. This has a dusty austerity that's difficult to put into words, but adds a level of complexity and sophistication.
