Note di degustazione
The medium to dark ruby-colored 1999 Pinot Noir Southeast Block Reserve is the finest wine I have tasted from this excellent winery. Spicy dark fruits can be discerned in its aromatics. On the palate, it is broad, ample, and hugely expansive. Copious quantities of red and black cherries are intermingled with candied raspberries and currants in this dense, satin-textured, and deep wine. Its exceptionally long finish reveals loads of prodigiously ripe tannin. Anticipated maturity: 2005-2014. Tel. (503) 581-2262

Red-ruby. Cherry, vanilla and toffee on the nose. Brisk, intense flavors of bitter cherry and herbs. But slightly rigid in the middle palate and acidic on the back end. Tannins are firm but fine. I'd hold this for a couple of years before pulling the cork. Also tasted: 2000 Nysa Vineyard Willamette Valley, 1999 Lewman Vineyard Willamette Valley.
