Enjoyed these one by one. Last one was full and earthy, still black cherry and just great with mushroom pasta. So long. (1019 views) | | | Tasted by mdfuller on 1/27/2020 & rated 90 points: this is tasting well right now - just enough fruit mostly on the middle - just a hint of yamhill red hills tease coming thru - all good for this vineyard. (1621 views) | | | Tasted by MarshPDX on 10/8/2019 & rated 92 points: Wow. Fruity, big, balanced. Excellent. (1038 views) | | | Tasted by timdrex on 3/2/2019 & rated 91 points: Found this bottle hiding in our cellar well past its prime drinking window, but it held up better than expected. It had some notes of old age at first but they blew off after an hour. Color was somewhat brown and opaque, nose was musty but bright; acidity still relevant and fruit lively; tannins subdued but present. Day two better yet. (1949 views) | | | Tasted by twain on 2/9/2019 & rated 91 points: Fading a bit but still graceful (1090 views) | | | Tasted by Bodyfxr on 11/18/2018 & rated 91 points: Pnp at an Italian restaurant to have with antipasti/cheeses and bread. Ruby red in the glass with a nose of dark red fruits/cherries and rose petals. Light to medium in body, burgundian in style and feel. Drinking beautifully at the eight year mark and even through it's at the end of its window it could probably go another 2-3 years. Well balanced and structured. Our friends enjoyed this wine immensely. Wish I had more. Good qpr.

Flight Four of Five - Wine 2:
Interesting, nuanced, and still evolving. Earth and umami, great balance. The patient will be rewarded. (1035 views) | | | Tasted by Grinner on 11/3/2018 & rated 92 points: The Lyon 10 Year Tasting: 2008 Oregon Pinot Noir (Lyon Den): Nice open nose with forest and mineral / stone notes coming through. Good length and structure. 92+ on day 2, enjoyable day 3! (1894 views) | | | Tasted by stuckybg on 9/30/2018 & rated 88 points: Very nice. Still clean. If you have it still open it. This is the best it will get. (1635 views) | | | Tasted by basianov on 5/7/2018: Very fruit forward - even after ten years! Good acidity. (877 views) | | | Tasted by WinoRick on 1/17/2018 & rated 93 points: From a case ordered from the winery. Initially, I was disappointed with this vintage. It seemed disjointed and one bottle even had some spritz. It has now come together and is drinking beautifully. Medium weight with an edge of minerality and focused burnt cherry flavors. (2392 views) | | | Tasted by timdrex on 8/14/2017 & rated 90 points: The fruit is getting a bit lean on this wine, but it has held up nicely, with a finish that is med-long. Time to drink up. (2256 views) | | | Tasted by Tony Poli on 6/9/2017 & rated 91 points: Theme was Oregon Pinot. One of the smoother wines of the night. A little less complex than two offerings from Chehalem, Ribbon Ridge R and the Reserve, it was quite good. This is the second to last of the case, it has aged nicely. I don't think it is getting any better now, but it could easily last another year or two. (2170 views) | | | Tasted by agt-in-camas on 11/28/2016 & rated 90 points: Better than when I had it a few years back and the tasting room and really rounds out with food. Had it with Italian sammies and it was great. (1215 views) | | | Tasted by twain on 11/8/2016 & rated 93 points: Love this wine, but showed far younger than prior bottles. Lots of life left. Really showing well. (1088 views) | | | Tasted by WineAggregate on 8/17/2016 & rated 92 points: I think I underestimated this wine when I bought it. It has full-bodied mature fruit flavors along with a refined, exotic mouthfeel. (2996 views) | | | Tasted by shaffej on 8/2/2016 & rated 94 points: Superb! (2952 views) | | | Tasted by Adonisd1956 on 7/12/2016 & rated 91 points: No technical notes! This was a really good bottle of Pinot Noir! (2729 views) | | | Tasted by twain on 3/31/2016 & rated 92 points: Velvety, black cherry, graceful. (1331 views) | | | Tasted by Tony Poli on 2/28/2016 & rated 93 points: This is aging quite well. We have a few notes on the case - this was much smoother than I remember, and we did not decant. Lots of fruit, lots of balance, plenty of structure. Paired with planked salmon, wonderful choice. (2399 views) | | | Tasted by Vino Monkeys on 9/15/2015 & rated 91 points: Garnet, showing some lightening around the edge. Plum, cherry and sweet fruits on the nose. Rich and well balanced with ripe red fruits and a hint of residual sweetness. Medium long finish with some oak and tannins. I've liked this wine more with each tasting over the past couple years. (2857 views) | | | Tasted by wineismylife on 7/2/2015 & rated 92 points: WIML92
Tasted non blind.
Garnet to dark garnet color in the glass, clear looking throughout. Nose of blueberries and peppers up front followed by aromas of black berries, black cherries and a bit of birch. Flavors of black raspberries, black berries and black cherries. Bright acidity, firm tannin, full bodied. Drink now with air or hold. (2010 views) | | | Tasted by cdp1276 on 4/5/2015 & rated 88 points: I should've let it sit a few more years. (882 views) | | | Tasted by jrglm on 4/3/2015 & rated 92 points: Really nice Oregon PN. Ready now. Lots of funk, earth, fruit on the nose. (2656 views) | | | Tasted by JimmIET on 3/19/2015 & rated 94 points: Wonderful bright nose after proper aeration. Bramble and dusty rose over notes followed by bright cigar box, oak and dark berry.
The nose did not over state the wine, the long legs clung to the glass followed by smooth and velvety mouth feel. Then the berry hits your pallet and you find yourself floating in a garden paradise. The fruit is still evident but reserved and the aftertaste lingers for what seems like an eternity. All I can say is I enjoyed this wine!!!

Pinot Noir is the Noble red grape of Burgundy, capable of ripening in a cooler climate, which Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot will not reliably do. It is unpredictable and difficult both to grow and to vinify, but results in some of the finest reds in the world. It is believed to have been selected from wild vines two thousand years ago. It is also used in the production of champagne. In fact, more Pinot Noir goes into Champagne than is used in all of the Cote d'Or! It is also grown in Alsace, Jura, Germany, the U.S., Canada, Australia, New Zealand, Romania, Switzerland, Austria, Croatia, Serbia, Italy, and so forth, with varying degrees of success.
Pinot Noir is one of the world's most prestigious grapes. It is very difficult to grow and thrives well in France, especially in Champagne and Burgundy. Pinot Noir thrives less in hot areas, is picky on soil, and deserves some oak storage.
Pinot Noir, or Blauburgunder / Spätburgunder in German, is a blue grapevine - and, as the German name suggests, the grape comes originally from Burgundy in France.
The grape, which thrives in calcareous soils, is used primarily for the production of red wine, and it is widely regarded as producing some of the best wines in the world. The wine style is often medium-bodied with high fruit acidity and soft tannins. It can be quite peculiar in fragrance and taste, and not least in structure - which may be why it is referred to as "The Grapes Ballerina".
Pinot Noir is also an important ingredient in sparkling wines, not least in champagne since it is fruity, has good acidity and contains relatively little tannins.
The grape is considered quite demanding to grow. The class itself consists of tightly packed grapes, which makes it more sensitive to rot and other diseases.
Pinot Noir changes quite easily and is genetically unstable. It buds and matures early which results in it often being well ripened. Climate is important for this type of grape. It likes best in cool climates - in warm climates the wines can be relaxed and slightly pickled.
In cooler climates, the wine can get a hint of cabbage and wet leaves, while in slightly warmer regions we often find notes of red berries (cherries, strawberries, raspberries, currants), roses and slightly green notes when the wine is young. With age, more complex aromas of forest floor, fungi and meat emerge.
In Germany, Switzerland, Austria and Hungary, it often produces light wines with less character. However, it has produced very good results in California, Oregon and New Zealand.
With its soft tannins and delicate aroma, it is excellent for white fish, chicken and light meat. For the stored wines you can serve small game. Classic duck breast is a matter of course, a Boeuf Burgundy and Pinot Noir are pure happiness.
Pinot Noir loses quality by over-harvesting.
Pinot Noir is prone to diseases, especially rot and mildew. Viruses cause major problems especially in Burgundy.
Pinot Noir are large round grapes with thin skins. Relatively high in alcohol content. Medium rich tannins and good with acid.
As a young person, Pinot Noir has a distinctly fruity character such as raspberries, cherries and strawberries.
A mature Pinot Noir, the taste is different. Cherry goes into plum and prune flavors. It smells of rotten leaves, coffee, moist forest floor and animal wine. This must be experienced.
In warm climates you find boiled plum, some rustic, little acid.
If the grapes are over-grown, the wine will be thin, with little color and flavor.USAAmerican wine has been produced since the 1500s, with the first widespread production beginning in New Mexico in 1628. Today, wine production is undertaken in all fifty states, with California producing 84% of all U.S. wine. The continent of North America is home to several native species of grape, including Vitis labrusca, Vitis riparia, Vitis rotundifolia, and Vitis vulpina, but the wine-making industry is based almost entirely on the cultivation of the European Vitis vinifera, which was introduced by European settlers. With more than 1,100,000 acres (4,500 km2) under vine, the United States is the fourth-largest wine producing country in the world, after Italy, Spain, and France.Oregon Oregon Wine, Oregon Wineries (Oregon Wine Board)Willamette Valley Willamette Valley Wineries Association | Willamette Valley (Oregon Wine Board)
