Tasting notes
Light bright red. Highly perfumed aromas of fresh red berries, Asian spices, potpourri and smoky minerals. Stains the palate with sweet, penetrating raspberry liqueur and rose pastille flavors that show a strikingly light touch. Hints of blood orange and succulent herbs emerge slowly with air and carry through a very long, seamless and incisive finish, which leaves behind resonating mineral and floral notes. Anyone who avers that New World Pinot cannot match Burgundy for finesse and complexity has clearly never tried anything from this small, impressively consistent producer.

Very old vineyard. Transparent and full of earthy character. Already charming though Les Caves Oregon buyer Doug Wregg assures me this will live for years. (JR)
