Lots of tobacco, licorice, ripe plum, with decent tannins. It's missing acidity that I would expect.

A very good Pinot- fruit forward, cherry & strawberry but with a touch of earth and good tannins. Perhaps a twang at the end of citrus & alcohol but still pleasing. Second serving after vac-u-vin was not quite as good until it warmed up and aired. Actually a touch sweetness at the end after a couple of days back in the wine fridge.

First impression is not snappy and fruity as i saw from co-tasters on this website. There is fruit yes but also very powerful black tea leave notes. So i leave it to you to figure out the fruit. Blackberry anyone? Hint of smokey-ness? Drinking this at the bridge water bistro Astoria a great place! Recommended by the local wine store. The wine cellar on 10th; Teela. A great! Recommendation! Bitter orange on the back palate. Complex and long. Bitter. Nice balance of acid/tannins. Only 200 cases made. Very Burgundian with an Oregonian twist Bravo!
