winemaker's notes:

The 2006 Pinot Noir Willamette Valley is very easy to love. It is pretty and charming and graceful, like the 2004, but with a slightly more masculine character. On the nose, the wine is full of bright cherry and intense small red berry notes, with a hint of spice. The mouth feel is lush and round, and very balanced, as is the elegant, long finish. It is a wine to enjoy now, or any time over the next 6-12 years.

"Fine-boned and elegant, this plum-scented pinot is supported by sumptuous oak and a dusting of fine-grained earth. The ripe cherry flavor concentration feels as generous as it is poised, the finish graceful and lifted."

I would not buy this wine again
Not worth drinking now, but might benefit from cellaring. I'm not stocking up, though.

I would buy this wine again
I like this wine because it has a masculine character and the great long finish that leaves in your mouth is delicious. I have tasted this wine many times and I like it a little cold because it makes it tasty much better. At the rest where I work we sell it and people like it a lot. I think that red wine taste much better a little cold because you can smell and tasty the fruits.

Kosher wine
Kosher
A Kosher wine begins like every other - as grapes on a vine. Once they reach the winery for crushing, the wine is under strict rabbinal supervision.
Screw Cap wine
Screw Cap
Many studies report and winemakers agree that screw caps protect wine better and preserve its flavor more effectively than cork. More importantly, screw caps eliminate cork taint caused by TCA, a compound which develops in a small percentage of corks and ruins the taste of wine.
Green wine
