From a 375 ml. This is really a nice value in Oregon Pinot Noir. Sineann makes a variety of single vineyard bottlings but this is the blend for thos which didn't get bottled. It is always quite good and the added complexity sometimes makes this as good as the individual bottlings. 13.8% this is not huge nor is it "Burgundian". Ruby/purple in color. The nose has lovely sour cherries and spice. On the palate, nice texture. Cherries finishing as sour cherries. Some depth. A nice complexity. Love the 375 format when a bottle is more than I want to open.
Purple in color. The nose is tight. With a few hours of air it opened a bit more to show a nice earthy cherry quality. On the palate, this is soft. It has a sweet tart quality to the cherry fruit. A bit clipped on the finish. At $40, this may provide value if it develops over the next few years. Time will tell.
