Muirfield Vineyard Pinot Noir

Plum, cocoa, tar, cranberry, sandalwood

Juicy herbal cherries with just the right amount of acid and tannins to round out this medium bodied wine. So soothing after a long day. Makes me crave a bubble bath. Go figure. Cheers! 🍷

This has a lovely sweet vanillin note up front, followed by that cherry cola note I find in many Oregon Pinots, while I will concede that some Siduri Pinots in my cellar have seen better days (blame is on me for holding some of them too long), this bottle has held up beautifully and is drinking very well, lingering finish, certainly ready to drink, though this might still hold another 2-3 years (14.1% ABV), bravo to Dianna and Adam!!

Really great fruit with a whole lot of wood.

Lovely redfruits, fresher and more youthful than the 1999 Christian David, lovely acidity, the last of our Alaskan wild king salmon really matches great with this, medium-long finish, very nice.

This is getting quite mature, losing some fruit, time to drink up, but opening up a bit with aeration, originally I rated it too low.

Still stunning 17 years later.

Had fruit and nice red color. The nose was gone.

Lost some bouquet but still nice to drink.

Surprisingly earthy yet with a solid fruit core. I’ve not in general been a fan of Oregon’s Pinots, but this one will make me take a second look.
