2008 Sineann Schindler Vineyard Willamette Valley Pinot Noir

13.8% alc., $35. Vino-Seal glass closure. This vineyard is farmed by Robert and Janet Schindler and is located northwest of Salem. · Moderately dark reddish-purple hue in the glass. Reserved aromas of dark stone fruits with a sidecar of smoky oak. Soft in the mouth with caressing tannins, and a black cherry fruit core that is moderately rich and perfectly ripe. Still somewhat brooding and linear at this stage. This wine underwent an amazing transformation with much more fruit expression and charm when tasted the following day from a previous opened and re-corked bottle. Cellar or decant if you drink now. Very good. Reviewed June 22, 2010
