2002 R. Stuart Pinot Noir, "Big Fire," Oregon

[wondersofwine]

Could also be posted in Northwest Wines. I had a glass of this at the Corduroy Restaurant in the Four Points Sheraton Hotel, DC. 13% alcohol. Burgundy color--darker--shading to purple at the rim. Nice nose of dark raspberry and plum. Plummy, fruity flavor. Not tannic. Lots of mouth presence. Slightly chewy texture. Well structured and balanced. Juicy and fruity without coming across as a "fruit bomb".
R. Stuart was new to me as a producer. Anyone else tried the Pinot Noir?
