2006 Cristom Sommers Reserve Willamette Valley Pinot Noir
14.5% alc., $38.
·
Shy and simple cherry
aromas with a hint of newly mown grass. Sturdy cherry and strawberry fruit with sinew, nicely weighted and
elegant, showing some dry but refined tannins and a touch of heat on the finish. Immature and a bit disjointed,
give this wine a few years to fully integrate.
