Methven Family Vineyards Pinot Noir Willamette Valley

Slight brick color. Drinking really well - medium body. Dry but long finish. Mix of red and dark cherry. A bit of spice.

Popped and poured. Color garnet brick w brown edges. Nose is weird, with alocholic medicinal aroma combined w stewed vegetables and dominant celery. On palate, there is no fruit and all medicinal alcoholic palate. Not sure of this is representative or consequence of storage. Won't buy again

popped and poured. nose showing cherry cola and meaty teriyaki aromas. palate has med weight, with soft integrated tannins and acids that lead into a soft medium finish. in a very nice place now and dunno if there is upside to holding.

Seemed aged to perfection. very well rounded with forward earthiness and long finish

This is one rockin' Oregon PN. Has a lot of stuffing, not quite as elegant as most Pinot with a decent amount of toasty oak, particularly on the nose. Bold black cherry fruits, moderately soft acidity, and present tannins make for an interesting bottle. Nice spiciness, light brett notes. Obviously Pinot, as some of the "bigger" Pinots show more like a Syrah, this one's not quite as extracted. Well done
