The 2002 Pinot Noir Calkins Lane Vineyard is dark ruby-colored, revealing a nose of red cherries after considerable aeration. Powerful, youthfully restrained and structured, it displays loads of plummy dark fruits, mocha, black cherries, and sweet raspberries. Its tannin is ripe yet firm. Anticipated maturity: 2006-2012+.

Once you get past distinctly gamy aromas, the flavors swell with rich cherry and dark plum notes that crescendo through the long finish, framed with fine-grained tannins and a refined touch of oak. Stylish and distinctive, if not for all tastes. Drink now through 2012. 70 cases made.??–HS??Region: Oregon / Willamette Valley / Yamhill County Select to Add
