The 2006 Pinot Noir Flat Block has a nose of red fruit compote, complex, round, sweet fruit, a silky texture, good richness, and a finish with no hard edges. Drink this hedonistic effort over the next six years.
Bethel Heights Vineyard continues to be a reliable source for Oregon Pinot Noir under winemaker Terry Casteel.
