- wondersofwine - 05-13-2005
Willamette Valley, Oregon
$25.00 from winery plus about $6.00 shipping charges (I ordered two bottles of a single-vineyard P. N. also and it was $4.00 for packing materials and $14.00 shipping for the three bottles total)
13.9% alcohol
Purple-red color. Some viscosity.
Plummy/blackberry fruits with less evident dark cherry--dark fruits in general.
Seemed to be some extraction and some oak aging. Suggestive of some Burgundian wines--those that veer toward dark fruits rather than red fruits. Seems to benefit from an hour's aeration. I may hold off for a while on opening the remaining two bottles which are Chehalem Ridgecrest Pinot Noir.
Forgot to mention this had an artificial cork--Supreme Corq.
