On the palate the flavor is one of the silkiest in memory, enhanced by a creamy texture. The fruit sweetness is black cherry and ripe plum. Fathoms of chocolate spice and morel earthiness frame the fruit. All this is supported by firm, ripe tannins which linger along with the sweetness for a very long finish. The structure and surprising sweetness should help one to predict significant return on cellaring this wine!

This Pinot Noir has a surprising amount going on in the glass - from up front fruit to earthy complexity and spice nuances. Enjoy this taste of the Willamette Valley on the patio or on the forest trail.
