this single vineyard in the dundee hills recalls oregon pinots from days gone by. it's not too big, not too oaky, plenty ripe and delivers spicy berry fruit along with earthier streaks of leaf, herb, baking spices and a whiff of cinnamon. stiff acids and earthy tannins betray its youth, but though still a little rough around the edges, this could be cellared for a decade or more.
