Firesteed Oregon Pinot Noir 2009
Grapes for this wine, as in
previous years, were sourced from throughout the Willamette, Umpqua, Rogue
and Walla Walla Valleys, creating a truly Oregon blend.
Tasted w. James at Chez Andres in Alexandria, VA, where Monday and Tuesday nights feature wine specials. Too light for the filets of beef this was a great compliment to the chocolate mousse cake.
Garnet in color, light bodied and a bit flabby but acceptable at the low QPR (Quality Price Ratio) price-point - aromas of dusty rose, raspberries, cedar, leather and spice; berry and slightly tart cherry flavors give way to tannin through the modest lingering finish.
RM 85 points.
