An elegant wine, with moderate 13.6% alcohol, brambly berry fruit, and a wash of finishing acidity. The restrained (30%) new French oak can be sensed in the lightly chocolaty finish. It's nice to be able to call an Oregon Pinot charming, as this one is, rather than volcanic.

Solid and anchored in darker flavors of earth, leaf and tannin, this well-made Pinot Noir shows black cherry fruit at its core. The best part is the nose, promising some development in bottle. Aromas are elusive and elegant, but in the mouth it turns a bit tannic and rough.
