#1 "Top Oregon Pinot noirs" 9-2-09

"You could taste the vintage in the freshness of this wine. It was complex as well, with aromas and flavors of earth, flowers and fruit, and it was balanced. For me, it was the only wine in the tasting that transcended the divide between the welterweight and heavyweight wines." - Eric Asimov
