Eastburn Vineyards 2006 Pinot Noir (Chehalem Mountains)

Country: US /
Variety: Pinot Noir Oregon
Winery: Eastburn Vineyards / Chehalem Mountains

This new producer is off to a good start with its first vintage. The fruit is clean and complex, ranging from watermelon to wild strawberry to pie cherry as it washes across the palate. Deep in color, yet light in the mouth, this not only makes you reach for a second glass, it makes you wish the vineyard, planted in 2001, would hurry up and age.
