2003 Sipino Pinot Noir

[dananne]

Produced by Yamhill Valley Vineyards in Willamette, but with an Oregon designation. Found it at $14 on a local shelf, and since we're always looking for bargain-priced PN, we thought we'd give it a look-see. Bright ruby red color, with darker flashes. Nose of red plums and cinnamon. Red fruit flavors and good varietal character in flavor profile and structure. Very silky. Worth the $, IMHO, and one that we'll likely buy again. Alc. 14.2%.

Had another with similar notes. Still a nice P/Q PN, but it likely won't be replacing the Queen of Hearts that we've taken to recently. We bought three, so there should be one left. It'll likely be gone sometime soon, though I think this has stuffing to carry it for a few years (as I've found with many of the Oregon '03s), if one was so inclined.
