PnP. Bright garnet (translucent). Dusty strawberry, cherry, floral/spice, earth on nose. Dancing medium light fruit, crisp acidity, mineral. Low complexity, some finesse. Really nice paired with food. Great expression of pinot but lacks that extra dimension of depth and complexity that excites.

Delicate, bright cherry. Weird fizzy thing initially..that was not unpleasant. Long finish. Great racy acidity. Balanced oak and mid palate. A bit of OR forest floor coming through. A fabulous wine. Smoked a 2004 Papapietro Perry Leras

Yum! Yum! Yum! Decanted about 3 hours. Purplish-red color. Light nose of dark cherry and just a hint of Oregon pinot funk. There is some alcohol on the nose, but it's soft. A little raspberry, some floral. Wonderful balance, acidity is bright and matches the shot of black cherry flavor nicely. I'm glad I have another bottle for later :-). Finish is nice and long.
Annie really enjoyed this wine.

Tasty dark cherry and earthy aromas and flavors with pine needle notes on the pleasant finish.
