2006 Willamette Valley Pinot Noir Tasting Notes
A plenary of pure Pinot Noir portrayal! Aromas: Plucky plum compote and a parfait of ripe raspberry and rose petal plastron for one's platyrrhine proboscis. Flavors: a plenary of Pinot Noir pleasure principles. Piquant not platitudinous, plucky not plodding, this vintage is a plenitude of ripe black cherry and plum nectar centered, pleats of spiciness, with a juicy cherry pie finish. This Pinot Noir coats the tongue like the proverbial Phrygian cap!
Wine Scores and Reviews for 2006 Willamette Valley Pinot Noir
- 2006: International Wine Cellar 88 "Light red. Spicy raspberry and cherry on the nose, with a light kiss of bitter chocolate adding complexity. Smooth red fruit flavors become chewier with air, picking up dusty tannins and finishing with solid grip and good persistence."
- 2005: Wine Spectator 91 "Light, bright and refreshing, with nice, pure dark berry and a hint of smoke mingling on the lively finish. Drink now through 2008. 19,700 cases made. -HS"
- 2004: Wine Spectator 89 "Light and tangy, brimming with red cherry, raspberry and sweet spice aromas and flavors, nicely framed with a subtle touch of oak. Has tremendous appeal, although the finish gets a bit sharp. Drink now through 2010. 3,156 cases made. -HS"
- 2003: Wine Spectator 89 "The lithe, lissome style has lovely currant, plum and subtle spice flavors, real presence and a finish that lets the flavors linger without intruding. Drink now through 2008. 20,229 cases made. -HS" Top 100 Wines, Dec 2003
