Accessed by a coravin over a year ago, finally pulled the cork today. Notice the 13.2% abv but this isn't lightweight at all. Dense bing and rainier cherry, pluot, and confected raspberry, with an herbal, slightly stemmy finish that is very elegant. This is what Oregon was thinking about when they said they could make wine like Burgundy (though it's not trying to be Burgundy, which is key)

If your looking for a wine that allows you to think deeper into whats going on in the glass you might want to seek one of these.

Nice Oregon Pinot... Heartier than other pinots I have tasted from this region. Red slightly sweet cherry, slight mossy nose, maybe a little tart berry, rose, baking spices... Really fun!

Not as good as I had remembered, but good Oregon Pinot nonetheless.
