A good value in Oregon Pinot, this wine features fully ripe cherry aromas with some chocolaty overtones allied to a smoked-meat note. The fruit really sings on the palate, where some cranberry and cocoa flavors chime in. Best Buy. ——J.C.(12/1/2000)—— 87

The basic cuvee of 1994 Pinot Noir Unfiltered is a delicious, ripe, richly fruity wine revealing a medium ruby color with purple tints. Sweet oak nuances are present, but this wine's hallmark is its gorgeous display of ripe black-cherry and raspberry fruit presented in a medium-bodied, silky smooth format. Drink it over the next 4-5 years. Tel. (503) 371-8478
