dhearst's Review: I am very partial to Willamette Valley Pinot Noir and have had several. This one unequivocally blew me away! I purchased a bottle on a recommendation, so I had expectations, but this one surpassed every expectation I had. The fruit flavors (smoky cherry) were very intense at the start, and I really enjoyed that. The finish though was long and extremely complex. It is difficult to describe the finish other than it was a very pleasant journey. What struck me was how much heavier and bolder this wine was compared to other Oregon Pinots. This wine showed a level of complexity that is difficult to match or compare. I highly recommend this wine.
