"A top note of orange peel highlights this wine's scents of Asian five-spice powder and leather. There's an earthy depth to the plum and black cherry flavors, a firm, concentrated texture that supports generous, lively fruit tones. Its exotic spice will complement a skirt steak stir-fry."

"This California-made Oregon Pinot captures a sense of the particular terroir of Chehalem Mountains fruit. Wild strawberries are laced with peppery spice and a streak of cola. Good penetration and texture. P.G."

WINE
2008 Siduri Pinot Noir Chehalem Mountains
Siduri

The Chehalem Pinot Noir is comprised of fruit from the Muirfield, Beran, and Arbre Vert Vineyards. These vineyards possess the type of character that comes in part with age….with Muirfield being the youngest vines at 17 years old. Both Arbre Vert and Beran sport vines that are 30+ years old. The wine shows red cherry and clove flavors, with a smooth, velvet-like texture. On the mid-palate the wine closes down slightly, due undoubtedly to its youth, but the finish opens up again and is lingering, long, and fine-grained with lively acidity carrying the fruit flavors on and on. This wine certainly drinks well now, especially with food, but will be even better with 6 months in the cellar.
