2008 Carabella Mistake Block Chehalem Mountains Oregon Pinot Noir
14.5% alc., 90 cases, $55.
Pommard clone.
·
Moderate reddish-purple robe in the glass. Aromas of crushed strawberries, raspberries,
sandalwood and vanilla pastry. The slightly confected flavors echo the nose with added notes of black
cherries, cranberries and the faintest oak graham. Very soft in the mouth with pillowy tannins. Very good.
