The 2002 Pinot Noir Terres Basses is firm, backward and tannic. This medium to full-bodied, extracted wine is youthfully rustic and structured. Cassis liqueur, asphalt, earth, licorice, and dark cherry compote-like flavors can be discerned in its austere yet impressive personality. A Pinot behemoth, this wine has enormous potential if cellaring civilizes and harmonizes its admirable components. Anticipated maturity: 2009-2016. Tel. (503) 662-3280 www.willakenzie.com
