2009 Argyle Pinot Noir, Willamette Valley, OR

[wondersofwine]

I had this in October or November but don't think that I have posted it previously.

Pretty pale burgundy/light mahogany color; some transparency. Nose is pleasant but a little elusive--dark raspberry/cherry cordial perhaps? Some raspberry flavor on the palate also. Smooth drinking with restrained tartness. I had this following a salad with goat cheese and to accompany chicken penne with artichoke bits in a creamy roasted red pepper sauce. Nice.
