Now that I purchased more of this wine (based on the vintage and my general enjoyment of Oregon Pinot Noir), I decided to try a bottle. Not much happening upon opening, but over the course of dinner and with some swirling, it opened up somewhat. I will decant next time. I get the cherry, spiciness and a slight tartness, but there was a persistent hint of cranberry in there too. Given that, it could prove to be the perfect Thanksgiving wine! I consider this to be a unique PN compared to other offerings for this vintage and from that region. However, it is delicious and smooth and I found myself pouring more than usual. I can see the elements are present for coming together even more in the future, which is why I purchased another six bottles. I eagerly await this wine's development over the years to come and the distinct possibility of a higher rating. Postscript: Finished the bottle three nights later, refrigerated and not gassed. It was even better, clearly having come into its own. Full flavored without being heavy, velvety, earthy, and just plain delicious. Very pleased with my purchases.

Nice pinot, very light yet stable fruity and dry

average at best, very overpriced
