2005 Pinot Noir - Willamette Valley

Ripe and dark raspberry and marionberry aromas explode from the glass with hints of violets and an incense-like palate of spicy oak tones including cinnamon, clove and vanilla.  The palate is generous and ample with a sweet attack of lush black cherry liqueur, coffee and tobacco with smoky fine-grained tannins lending to the long and impressive finish.
