點(diǎn)擊次數(shù)：3800

The 2009 Pinot Noir Willamette Valley spent 11 months in 33% new French oak. A hint of herbs, underbrush, spicy red fruits, and cherry blossom inform the nose of an easy-going, savory, nicely balanced effort meant for drinking over the next 5-6 years. It is a prototype for the 2009 vintage. Aubichon Cellars is a partnership between Tom Mortimer, owner of Le Cadeau, and Jim Sanders, winemaker.Tel. (503) 554-1970; www.aubichoncellars.com

Clearly an Oregon style, with definitive herbal highlights around ripe, almost sweet strawberry fruit. The midpalate has grip and weight, and flavors linger as the evolve into suggestions of strawberry preserves. Finishes with a kiss of chocolate.——P.G.(8/1/2011)—— 89
