2007 Sineann Wyeast Vineyard Columbia Gorge Pinot Noir
13.5%
alc., $35, Vino-Seal glass closure. From a vineyard in the Hood River
Valley farmed by Dick and Christie Reed.
·
Moderately deep reddish-purple
color in the glass. Patience is required to fully enjoy this wine. I
found it grows on you as it gets significantly better over time in the
glass. Appealing aromas of dark red cherries and berries with a hint of
toasty oak. Delicious essence of fresh cherries and berries with a hint of
soy and cherry skins. Beautifully balanced with bright acidity on the showy
finish which sails along. This wine clearly shows the promising potential for
Pinot Noir in the Hood River region of Oregon.

flowers, chalk and cola. The fruit is very delicate and flat and carries a vegetal note. Flamboyant tannins and
sharp acidity.
